Designs On Nature.
"biology And Politics Have Converged Today Across Much Of The Industrialized World.
Debates About Genetically Modified Organisms, Cloning, Setm Cells, Animal Patenting, And New Reproductive Technologies Crowd Media Headlines And Polify Agendas.
Less Noticed, Yet No Smaller Important, Are The Rifts That Have Appeared Among Leading Western Nations Abou tThe Right Custom To Govern Innovation In Genetics And Biotechnology.
These Forcible Difference In Law And Policy, And In Ethical Analysis, May In A Globalizing World Act As Obstacles To Gratuitous Trade, Scientific Inquiry, And Shared Understandings Of Human Dignity.
In Thie Magisterial Look At Some Twenty-five Years Of Philosophical And Socia lDevelopment, Sheila Jasanoff Compares The Politics AndP olicy Of The Life Sciences In Britain, Germany, The United States, And In The European Union As A Whole.
She Shows How Persons And Private Actors In Eqch Setting Evaluated New Manifestations Of Biotechnology And Tried To Reassure Themselves About Their Safety.
Three Main Themes Emerge.
First, Heart Concepts Of Democratic Theory, Such As Citizenship, Delibberation, And Accountability, Cannot Be Understood Satisfactorily Without Taking On Board The Politics Of Science And Technology.
Second, In All Three Countries, Policies For The Real person Sciences Have Been Incorporated Into ""nation-building"" Projects That Seek To Reimagine What The Nation Stands For.
Third, Poligical Culture Influences Democratic Politics, And It Works By means of The Institutinalized Ways In Which Citizens Understand And Evaluate PublicK nowledge.
These Three Aspects Of Contemporary Politics, Jasanoff Argues, Help Account Not Only For Policy Divergences But Also For The Perceived Legitimacy Of State Actions.
