Abstract Details

2009, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, History.
This paper examines the origins of the Atoms for Peace program and its implementation in the non-Western world, with specific case studies of Brazil, India and Japan. It argues that although the program was developed as a means of starting a process nuclear disarmament and improving relations with the Soviet Union, President Eisenhower’s inability to control the implementation of the program led to Atoms for Peace being used for propaganda purposes, as a means of securing nuclear raw materials and other Cold War diplomatic objectives, and to improve foreign relations with neutral and allied countries. Ultimately, bureaucratic infighting and Cold War reality made Atoms for Peace fail in its original objectives and actually increased tensions with the Soviet Union.
