Why have GM Foods become so controversial? Comparing GM food
politics in the US, Britain, and the European Union, Toke draws on
insights from discourse analysis to help explain this basic
political struggle of our time. By stressing the interplay between
the material and discursive dimensions involved in the shaping of
the conflict, the work offers a detailed account that enriches our
political understanding of these 'Frankenfoods' on a variety of
fronts, in particular the interplay between scientific expertise
and citizens politics. Those interested in the 'risk society', both
students and specialists, will find much to learn from this
perceptive analysis. compares and explains how differing political
outcomes have occurred regarding GM food and crops in the UK, USA
and the EU, thus throwing light on the relationship between science
and politics. Dave Toke uses a discourse approach to analyse the
varying regulatory and political approaches, developing a unique
framework to describe how different countries have distinctive
relationships between scientific assessments of GM food and crops
and dominant cultural attitudes. This innovative volume will
interest students and researchers of environmental science and
politics.
