"Never has the danger of biological warfare appeared more acute, and never has there been a greater need for this book."

As the threat of terrorism and regional instability looms ever greater, it is imperative to reconsider international policies relating to biological warfare and disarmament. This innovative book brings together for the first time a distinguished group of both Western and non-Western experts to offer international perspectives on the problem of biological weapons and the challenge of achieving biological disarmament. By examining the diverse contexts in which biological weapons concerns have emerged and responses that have been attempted since the end of the Cold War, the book also offers fresh approaches and concrete proposals to overcome one of the most intractable security problems of the twenty-first century.
