About this book

Advances in biotechnology, nanotechnology and neuropharmacology bring real benefits for health and welfare, yet the same advances can be turned to hostile ends. The book calls this the dual-use dilemma and looks at how to manage it.

The authors propose a framework for assessing the security risks of emerging dual-use technologies, then devise governance strategies suited to each. They apply the framework to contemporary case studies. The catalogue text also points to synthetic genomics as one of the emerging fields in view.
