The relationships between knowledge, technologies, and legal
processes are central to the constitution of contemporary
societies. As such, they have come to provide the focus for a range
of academic projects, across interdisciplinary legal studies and
the social sciences. The domains of medical law and ethics,
intellectual property law, environmental law and criminal law are
just some of those within which the pervasive place and 'impact' of
technoscience is immediately apparent. At the same time, social
scientists investigating the making of technology and expertise -
in particular, scholars working within the tradition of science and
technology studies - frequently interrogate how regulation and
legal processes, and the making of knowledge and technologies, are
intermingled in complex ways that come to shape and define each
other. This book charts the important interface between studies of
law, science and society, as explored from the perspectives of
socio-legal studies and the increasingly influential field of
science and technology studies. It brings together scholars from
both areas to interrogate the joint roles of law and science in the
construction and stabilization of socio-technical networks,
objects, and standards, as well as their place in the production of
contemporary social realities and subjectivities.
