"Preventing a Biochemical Arms Race" responds to a growing concern
that changes in the life sciences and the nature of warfare could
lead to a resurgent interest in chemical and biological weapons
(CBW) capabilities. By bringing together a wide range of historical
material and current literature in the field of CBW arms control,
the book reveals how these two disparate fields might be integrated
to precipitate a biochemical arms race among major powers, rogue
states, or even non-state actors.
It seeks to raise awareness among policy practitioners, the
academic community, and the media that such an arms race may be
looming if developments are left unattended, and to provide policy
options on how it--and it's devastating consequences--could be
avoided. After identifying weaknesses in the international regime
structures revolving around the Biological Weapons and Chemical
Weapons Conventions, it provides policy proposals to deal with gaps
and shortcomings in each prohibition regime individually, and then
addresses the widening gap between them.
