In the context of a growing criticism on the influence of the
pharmaceutical industry on physicians, scientists, or politicians,
Conflict of Interest and Medicine offers a comprehensive analysis
of the conflict of interest in medicine anchored in the social
sciences, with perspectives from sociology, history, political
science, and law. Based on in-depth empirical investigations
conducted within different territories (France, the European Union,
and the United States) the contributions analyze the development of
conflict of interest as a social issue and how it impacts the
production of medical knowledge and expertise, physicians' work and
their prescriptions, and also the framing of health crises and
controversies. In doing so, they bring a new understanding of the
transformations in the political economy of pharmaceutical
knowledge, the politicization of public health risks, and the
promotion of transparency in science and public life. Complementing
the more normative and quantitative understandings of conflict of
interest issues that dominate today, this book will be of interest
to researchers in a broad range of areas including social studies
of sciences and technology, sociology of health and illness, and
political sociology and ethics. It will be also a valuable resource
for health professionals, medical scientists, or regulators facing
the question of corporate influence.
