Abstract

The previous chapter introduced a new dataset of chemical and biological weapons programs in the post-World War II period. This chapter subjects the new data to several quantitative tests to investigate whether states treat CBWs like a replacement for nuclear weapons as the popular ‘poor man’s atomic bomb’ thesis suggests.
