Book description
This important volume is a timely contribution to increasing
international calls to regulate nanotechnologies. By investigating the ways
in which we could regulate these advances, and what we are learning from
regulating existing technologies, such as biotechnologies and information
technologies, the book debates the role of government, business actors and
the professions in protecting and enhancing the lives of citizens. In
placing particular emphasis on the lessons of earlier technology advances,
this book is unique in its broad consideration of the ethical, legal and
social issues entwined within the development of the nanotechnology family.
The multi-jurisdictional and interdisciplinary nature of the book will
appeal to governments, academics, and civil societies across many parts of
the world, while also remaining accessible to informed readers with an
interest in nanotechnology and the policy and governance issues associated
with technology development and regulation.
