Science has development from a self-evident public good to being
highly valued in other contexts for different reasons:
strengthening the economic competitiveness and, especially in
high-tech fields, as a financial investment for future gains. This
has been accompanied by a shift from public to private funding with
intellectual property rights gaining importance. But in
contemporary democracies citizens have also begun to voice their
concerns about science and technology related risks, demanding
greater participation in decision-making and in the setting of
research priorities. The book examines the legal issues and
responses vis- -vis these transformations of the nature of public
science. It discusses their normative content as well as the
inherent limitations of the law in meeting these challenges.
