   Sammanfattning : South Africa secretly produced six and a half nuclear weapons from 1978-1989 before undertaking a complete nuclear disarmament between 1989-1991; it is the only instance in history of when a state has discarded an indigenously developed nuclear arsenal and presents a unique case for studying the nuclear decision-making of states. This thesis is a theory-testing case study where I, by conducting a qualitative content analysis of previous research on South Africa’s nuclear rollback, examine how well Scott D Sagan’s nuclear policy model can explain the nuclear disarmament of South Africa.
