Book Synopsis
The book analyses the revolution in the life sciences, the changing nature of warfare, and the impact of biodefense activities on the regimes to prohibit chemical and biological weapons and puts forward proposals to strengthen these regimes.

Trade Review
"This excellent book by top experts links in-depth analysis of the CBW prohibition regimes with recent scholarship on new wars, gives a critical assessment of biodefense policies and is based on a thorough review of the revolution in the life sciences."—Harald Müller, Executive Director, Peace Research Institute, Frankfurt
"This book rejoins two issues that have for decades been addressed apart: chemical and biological weapons disarmament. Separated for pragmatic reasons, today's convergence in the life sciences calls for new thinking. The book will enrich the discussions in the arms control and the life science communities about managing dual use risks."—Ralf Trapp, International consultant on chemical and biological weapons arms control
