New Frontiers in Science and Technology Studies
Steve Fuller
Q175.5 .F846 2007
New York : M. Dekker, c1989-
v. <1-2> : ill. ; 26 cm.
ISBN: 0745636934
ISBN13: 9780745636931

New Frontiers in Science and Technology Studies charts the areas of debate likely to be of relevance in the coming years. These questions are explored by examining an array of historical, philosophical and contemporary sources.

"Should science and technology be treated as separate entities? What impact has globalization had on science and technology? Can science be clearly distinguished from other forms of knowledge? Does the politicization of science really matter? Is there a role for the social regulation of scientific inquiry? Should we be worried about research fraud? These questions are explored by examining an array of historical, philosophical and contemporary sources. Attention is paid, for example, to the Bruno Latour's The Politics of Nature as a model for science policy, as well as the global controversy surrounding Bjorn Lomborg's The Sceptical Environmentalist, which led to the dismantling and re-establishment of the Danish national research ethics board." —BOOK JACKET
