This book analyzes the possibilities for effective global
governance of science in Europe, India and China. Authors from the
three regions join forces to explore how ethical concerns over new
technologies can be incorporated into global science and technology
policies. The first chapter introduces the topic, offering a global
perspective on embedding ethics in science and technology policy.
Chapter Two compares the institutionalization of ethical debates in
science, technology and innovation policy in three important
regions: Europe, India and China. The third chapter explores public
perceptions of science and technology in these same three regions.
Chapter Four discusses public engagement in the governance of
science and technology, and Chapter Five reviews science and
technology governance and European values. The sixth chapter
describes and analyzes values demonstrated in the constitution of
the People's Republic of China. Chapter Seven describes emerging
evidence from India on the uses of science and technology for
socio-economic development, and the quest for inclusive growth. In
Chapter Eight, the authors propose a comparative framework for
studying global ethics in science and technology. The following
three chapters offer case studies and analysis of three emerging
industries in India, China and Europe: new food technologies,
nanotechnology and synthetic biology. Chapter 12 gathers all these
threads for a comprehensive discussion on incorporating ethics into
science and technology policy. The analysis is undertaken against
the backdrop of different value systems and varying levels of
public perception of risks and benefits. The book introduces a
common analytical framework for the comparative discussion of
ethics at the international level. The authors offer policy
recommendations for effective collaboration among the three
regions, to promote responsible governance in science and
technology and a common analytical perspective in ethics.
