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 tChemical arms controlBiological arms controlChemical arms control.Biological arms control.327.1/745Kelle Alexander1624941Nixdorff Kathryn1687929Dando Malcolm1095290MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816259103321Preventing a biochemical arms race4061778UNINA
