Editorial Reviews

Examines the related concerns of energy needs, the economy, and national security for eight developing countries--Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, India, Pakistan, South Africa, South Korea, and Taiwan. The selection of these particular countries stems from the fact that during the oil crisis of the 1970s, atomic power was for them not just a vital alternative source of energy but also a means of securing nuclear weapons.
