In the course of these assessment efforts, a social phenomenon has emerged – a phenomenon the editors define as assessment regime...Despite the variety of organizations, methods, and actors involved in the evaluation and regulation of emerging nanotechnologies, the assessment activities comply with an overarching scientific and political imperative: Innovations are only welcome if they are assessed against the criteria of safety, sustainability, desirability, and acceptability. So far, such deliberations and reflections have played only a subordinate role. This book argues that with the rise of the nanotechnology assessment regime, however, things have changed dramatically: Situated at the crossroads of democratizing s | 出版日期 | Book 2010 | 关键词 | assessment regime; emerging technologies; governance; nanotechnology; science; sociology of science; techn | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-90-481-2834-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-007-3077-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-90-481-2834-1Series ISSN 0167-2320 Series E-ISSN 2215-1796 | issn_series | 0167-2320 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010 |
