Dal risvolto di copertina interno

New technologies and the science that created them have transformed our
lives, posing challenges as to how technological change can be better
integrated in society. Recognition of these issues has led to
different ways of engaging the public in the assessment and regulation
of emerging technologies. This book puts the subject of publics and
their engagement in emerging technologies on a robust theoretical
footing. With a strong, though not exclusive, focus on genomic
technologies, leading theorists and practitioners in the field provide
precise and clear insights into the key issues in public participation
studies, including ethics, process, and principles of knowledge
distribution in democratic societies.
