Description
Biotechnology is one of the fastest-growing areas of scientific, technical and industrial innovation and one of the most controversial.
As developments have occurred such as genetic test therapies and the breeding of genetically modified food crops, so the public debates have become more heated and grave concerns have been expressed about access to genetic information, labelling of genetically modified foods and human and animal cloning.
Across Europe, public opinion has become a crucial factor in the ability of governments and biotech industries to exploit the new technology.
This 2002 book presents the results of a unique cross-national and cross-disciplinary study of the relationship between the development of new biotechnology and public perception, media coverage and policy formulation.
It outlines a conceptual framework for understanding these issues and contains a number of empirical studies including studies of the international controversies surrounding the cloning of Dolly the sheep and GM Soya.
