The book considers the relationship between governance and
participation, and the ways participation has been understood,
framed and applied in the context of synthetic biology (SB)
governance approaches. Based on fundamental questions about the
scope, purpose, and responsibilities assigned to public
participation activities, the authors conducted an literature
review of policy reports and articles on SB governance. The authors
identify key characteristics of synthetic biology, such as the
complex interplay of research, engineering and IT expertise in the
field, as well as the challenges these characteristics pose in
designing governance frameworks. Drawing on insights from a
literature review, the authors contest calls for "earlier" and
"more" participation on the basis that such calls fail to consider
the necessary structural adjustments and resources needed for such
endeavors. The brief addresses ethical questions arising in
synthetic biology that could be used for developing frameworks of
governance in the ongoing COVID-19 crisis and the consequent
innovations in vaccine research.
