About the Book

Although bioterrorism is newly feared by the public at large, it is a threat that institutions have attempted to anticipate for years. This unique collection provides a multidisciplinary resource on the challenges bioterrorism poses for American society and institutions, from both legal and political institutions: on the one hand, to public health, and to medical institutions on the other. Volume One documents and analyzes the challenge bioterrorism poses to political, economic and legal institutions, putting bioterrorism into its historical context as a problem discussed and anticipated by government for decades. The second volume documents the challenges bioterrorism poses to public health and public policy as a weapon of disease and fear. The materials in these volumes provide case histories and discourse by specialists relating to the ways that the bioterrorism threat has been perceived and approached by US health and law institutions. The collection also presents insights into the multi-layered, shifting institutional rationales and approaches to bioterrorist threats, events and national security issues as they have occurred throughout recent US history.
