From e-Reserved Readings, read, Kellman, B.  (2011).  The biological weapons convention and the democratization of mass violence.  Global Policy 2(2), 210-216.  doi: 10.1111/j.1758-5899.2011.00083.x

Kellman suggests that there has always been an undisputable relationship with politico-economic power and technology to commit mass violence.  His thesis asserts that individuals, organizations or governments that lacked technology for mass violence simply lack power; conversely, technologically strong entities hold power.

  • Why does Kellman believe there is a paradigm shift concerning his above-identified thesis, a shift that he calls the democratization of mass violence? 
  • What steps can be taken to promote technology progress that protects against the commission and spreading of mass violence capacities?
  • There is no global authority---rule of law if you will---to enforce policies relating to the democratization of mass violence.
  • What plan would you implement to address governance of the BWC?  
  • Should the treaty apply exclusively to state signatories or should it apply to civil society, terrorists and criminals?  Explain with details.
