“This book is a must-read for scholars and practitioners specialising in International Relations, Law, Political Science, and Strategic Studies, who wish to gain an in-depth insight into the dynamics of chemical and biological disarmament. The added value of the book is that it enables the reader to engage with the issue of dual-use research through the use of concrete examples. As such, it can also be of interest to professionals within Chemical and Life Sciences.” (Tatyana Novossiolova, Journal on Chemical and Biological Weapons, Vol. 15 (3-4), July-December, 2022)
