Description

Explore the complex world of scientific and technological disputes with this Routledge publication. Technical Controversies over Public Policy examines how media reports often focus on risk warnings surrounding innovation and environmental hazards. This book investigates the core of these conflicts, where experts disagree not only on policy choices but also on the fundamental scientific facts used to make public decisions. By analyzing modern case studies, the text examines how adversaries organize constituents based on shared interests or ideologies. You will see how opposing coalitions form and compete for media attention in high-stakes debates. The content covers significant contemporary issues including climate change, fracking, vaccination and autism, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This is an essential resource for understanding how scientific uncertainty and conflicting expert opinions shape the public policy landscape in today's world.
