dc.description.abstract | Taiwan’s covert push during the 1990s toward developing nuclear weapons is an
important, but relatively unknown, near-miss case of historical nuclear weapons
proliferation that was thwarted by strong diplomacy, intelligence gathering, and
international verification. The Taiwan case is relatively unknown and its lessons are
unexplored except in a very few published writings, none of which have had access
to the collection of documents and materials that ISIS has. This project will
contribute to scholarship on Taiwanese history and the dynamics of nuclear
proliferation by making public a large body of significant, currently unpublished
historical documents and data related to the Taiwan case. The project will
investigate the historical case of Taiwan’s efforts at producing nuclear weapons in
order to utilize time-sensitive sources to build a thoroughly documented case
history for future scholars, as well as to develop a more comprehensive
understanding of the motivations and constraints affecting countries’ pursuit of
nuclear weapons. | en_US |
