Countering the Threats from Small-Scale Chemical and Biological Weapons
A conversation with Dan Kaszeta and Professor David Crouch on countering the threats of and future trajectories in small-scale chemical and biological weapons production.
The general emphasis in arms control and non-proliferation debates has rightly been on the threat of chemical and biological materials as weapons of warfare. However, the threat of such materials being used in situations other than war, such as terrorist attacks and assassinations, is clear.
In this wide-ranging conversation, Dan Kaszeta and Professor David Crouch will explore the scientific and technical trends in small-scale chemical and biological weapons production. The speakers will also provide key recommendations for policymakers on how to address the problem.
The webinar will be moderated by Cristina Varriale, Research Fellow in Proliferation and Nuclear Policy at RUSI.Â
