He shows why the governance of science has become one of the biggest challenges of the twenty-first century, ever more prominent in daily politics and policy.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhereas science is ordered around what we know and what is, politics engages what we feel and what matters. How can we reconcile the two, so that crucial decisions are both well informed and legitimate?\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book proposes new ways to organize democracy and government, both within nations and at a global scale, to better shape science and technology so that we can reap more of the benefits and fewer of the harms.\u003c/p\u003e |
