| Title | PREVENTING BIOTERRORISM: INSTITUTIONAL COOPERATION AS A NOVUM REMEDIUM |
| Summary | With the advent of globalization along with scientific and technological developments, the changing forms of governance are ascertained. In the modern form of governance, security challenges have become a source of growing concern that leads to acceptance of promising realities on one hand and to effectively face critical challenges on the other. The paper is intended to analyze the way global governance adapts and responds to new security challenges. Taking into account Biological terrorism as an emerging threat this study is an attempt to examine the role of global institutions in adopting new ways of threat prevention. Within the available international instruments, Chemical Weapons Convention is chosen as a comparative case wherein an organisation for monitoring is already in place. The absence of such an institution to monitor biological weapons convention constitutes a pragmatic challenge to the security and at the same time creates new opportunities to evolve and modify global governance framework. The paper asserts that modern form of governance has to give up traditional approaches and incorporate innovative methods of international cooperation with the inclusion of ‘new actors’ like research group at the universities to efficiently address the threats of global security through enforcement level initiatives. In the premise of global governance framework, the paper examines various forms and processes which are playing major role in redressing the security challenge of Weapons of mass destruction. |
