The significant media coverage recently given to issues such as the
international impacts of biofuel production policies, advances in
synthetic biology, and the ethical implications of research
involving embryonic stem cells, is indicative of the high-level of
interest - among policy-makers, academics and the public - in the
biotechnology revolution, its applications, impacts and control.
There is also significant interest in international regulatory
processes as a form of governance, and international regulation is
a vital part of efforts to manage the impacts of the biotechnology
revolution, since many of these are global in their nature. The
book establishes the need for international regulation of
biotechnology, identifying the roles it needs to play, and the
issues it needs to cover. Having outlined the importance of
coherence to the effective functioning of international regulatory
sets, a model of coherent international regulation is established,
against which the biotechnology regulations can be assessed. This
book approaches the subject from an international relations
perspective but also draws from, and will contribute to, literature
in the fields of international law, global governance,
technological governance, and science-society relations.
