Governing Uncertainty (eBook, ePUB)

Environmental Regulation in the Age of Nanotechnology
Redaktion: Bosso, Christopher

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This is the first volume to engage scholarly perspectives on environmental regulation in light of the challenges posed by nanotechnology. Contributors focus on the overarching lessons of decades of regulatory response, while posing a fundamental question: How can government regulatory systems satisfy the desire for scientific innovation while also taking into account the direct and indirect effects of 21st century emerging technologies, particularly in the face of scientific uncertainties? With perspectives from economics, history, philosophy, and public policy, this new resource illuminates the various challenges inherent in the development of nanotechnology and works towards a reconceptualization of government regulatory approaches. First Published in 2010. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
