GM Food on Trial (eBook, PDF)

Testing European Democracy

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines European institutions being 'put on trial' for how their regulatory procedures evaluate and regulate genetically-modified products. Levidow highlights how public controversy created a legitimacy crisis, leading to national policy changes and demands, in turn stimulating changes in EU agbiotech regulations as a strategy to regain legitimacy.
