Risk, Language, and Power

The Nanotechnology Environmental Policy Case

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Risk, Language, and Power applies discourse analysis to public policy debates about nanotechnology to explore how risk is used in language and practice to frame those debates. The author argues that regulatory science by itself is inadequate to address risk concerns, and that public policy initiatives should be applied to broaden policy discourse around the environmental implications of emerging technologies.
