An analysis of defence policies. Nuclear and non-nuclear options reviewed.Ramsbotham, Oliver Peter January 1987 (has links)
This thesis is a study of what is said to be at issue in the nuclear
weapons debate and constitutes the beginning of an attempt to
understand its nature and significance .
The technique adopted has been to offer an initial presentation
of rival rationales in order to introduce the main concepts
and show something of the force of these developed, positions
(Vol I pp 7-30) . The two rationales are then related point
by point , to give the analytical framework used in the subsequent
interviews (pp 31-9) . Each pair of points is expanded and
commented upon , and detailed references are given to the books
and articles from which the analysis was drawn (pp 40-214) .
The next section relates all of this briefly to the main party
platforms in Britain , as of June 1987 (pp Zt 1- zt )
Volume II is made up of complete sets of responses to the framework
of questions generated in the earlier chapters . The
advantages of this method are
i that in each case the rationale is laid out verbatim 9 so that
premises are explicitly stated and the dependence of subsequent
upon prior arguments is clearly seen . This in itself is very
rarely done which is why so many proposed policies are so often ,
and so widely misunderstood .
that , because all those consulted have responded to the same
set of questions , their alternative sets of answers can be
compared with one another point by point . This is the crucial
and unique advantage of the approach adopted here . It ensures
that what is at issue can be precisely pinpointed. The results
as recorded here are in themselves striking and illuminating
More important still they open the door to detailed future
investigation of a kind which can be done in no other way.

Anti-crop Biological Weapons ProgramWhitby, Simon M. January 2006 (has links)
No / The threat of biological weapons has never attracted as much public attention as in the past five years. Current concerns largely relate to the threat of weapons acquisition and use by rogue states or by terrorists. But the threat has deeper roots--it has been evident for fifty years that biological agents could be used to cause mass casualties and large-scale economic damage. Yet there has been little historical analysis of such weapons over the past half-century.
Deadly Cultures sets out to fill this gap by analyzing the historical developments since 1945 and addressing three central issues: Why have states continued or begun programs for acquiring biological weapons? Why have states terminated biological weapons programs? How have states demonstrated that they have truly terminated their biological weapons programs?
We now live in a world in which the basic knowledge needed to develop biological weapons is more widely available than ever before. Deadly Cultures provides the lessons from history that we urgently need in order to strengthen the long-standing prohibition of biological weapons
