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 t 606 $aChemical arms control 606 $aBiological arms control 615 0$aChemical arms control. 615 0$aBiological arms control. 676 $a327.1/745 700 $aKelle$b Alexander$01624941 701 $aNixdorff$b Kathryn$01687929 701 $aDando$b Malcolm$01095290 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816259103321 996 $aPreventing a biochemical arms race$94061778 997 $aUNINA
