Over the last decades, nanoscience and nanotechnology has been
ascribed the potential to contribute beneficial applications in
fields such as medicine, cosmetics, or environmental remediation.
At the same time it is still contested whether engineered
nanomaterials might be not one-sidedly "good" but may also entail
negative side-effects for human health and the environment. To
address this uncertainty, academic and political initiatives have
sought to establish norms and practices to assess and govern
nanomaterials. Rooted in different disciplines such as ethics,
ecology, law, social and political sciences, the chapters in this
edited volume explore the normative approaches, societal practices,
and legal mechanisms which have emerged in the nano-field over the
last two decades. The chapters also present a broad variety of
evaluative approaches that may assist societal actors in their
attempts to actively shape and contribute to the debate about
nanomaterials.
