They Lost Em: The Nuclear Pasts of Libya and South Africa

This episode concludes our series on the three different categories of actors when it comes to nuclear states: those that have, those that want, and those that gave up nuclear weapons. Although many countries have pursued nuclear weapons to different degrees, South Africa and Libya are the only two to ever give up their nuclear weapons. In this episode, we walk through the very different contexts behind South African and Libyan disarmament as well as critical perspectives on these decisions.
