Preventing Chemical Weapons: Arms Control and Disarmament as the Sciences Converge

In this book, international leaders in various aspects of weapons prevention assess likely future trajectories in the chemical and life sciences alongside the risks of their application in the development of chemical or biological weapons. The current capabilities and limitations of existing international control regimes tasked with the prevention and elimination of chemical and toxin weapons are analysed. This book will be of interest to academic and research communities in the fields of pharmacology, toxicology, social science and those with an interest in the legal and ethical aspects of chemical and biological weapons prevention.
