Contemporary Security Policy Vol 34 No 3, December 2013, pp. 473-500 (104)Summary: After the 2001 terrorist attacks programmes were developed to improve defences against biological weapons and also to dissuade state and non-state actors from developing such weapons. This paper argues that current programmes are counterproductive because they emphasise the threat posed by biological weapons thus making them more rather than less attractive to potential users. Suggests practical steps that should be taken to correct the present situation.
