Historically, however, the U.S. military has neglected research, development, acquisition, and doctrine for biodefense. Following September 11 and the anthrax letters of 2001, the United States started spending billions of dollars per year on medical countermeasures and biological detection systems. But most of this funding now comes from the Department of Health and Human Services rather than the Department of Defense. Why has the U.S. military neglected biodefense and allowed civilian organizations to take the lead in defending the country against biological attacks? In American Biodefense, Frank L. Smith III addresses this puzzling and largely untold story about science, technology, and national security. Smith argues that organizational frames and stereotypes have caused both military neglect and the rise of civilian biodefense. In the armed services, influential ideas about kinetic warfare have undermined defense against biological warfare. The influence of these ideas on science and technology challenges the conventional wisdom that national security policy is driven by threats or bureaucratic interests. Given the ideas at work inside the U.S. military, Smith explains how the lessons learned from biodefense can help solve other important problems that range from radiation weapons to cyber attacks. 410 0$aCornell studies in security affairs. 606 $aBiological warfare$zUnited States$xSafety measures 606 $aBiosecurity$zUnited States 606 $aNational security$zUnited States 606 $aCivil defense$zUnited States 610 $abioterrorism, biological warfare, weapons of mass destruction, kinetic warfare. 615 0$aBiological warfare$xSafety measures. 615 0$aBiosecurity 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aCivil defense 676 $a358/.384 700 $aSmith$b Frank L.$cIII,$f1978-$01649020 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807061003321 996 $aAmerican biodefense$93997524 997 $aUNINA
