As bio-capital in the form of medical knowledge, skills and
investments moves with greater frequency from its origin in First
World industrialized settings to resource-poor communities with
weak or little infrastructure, countries with emerging economies
are starting to expand new indigenous science bases of their own.
The case studies here, from the UK, West Africa, Sri Lanka, Papua
New Guinea, Latin America and elsewhere, explore the forms of
collaborative knowledge relations in play and the effects of ethics
review and legal systems on local communities, and also demonstrate
how anthropologically-informed insights may hope to influence key
policy debates. Questions of governance in science and technology,
as well as ethical issues related to bio-innovation, are
increasingly being featured as topics of complex resourcing and
international debate, and this volume is a much-needed resource for
interdisciplinary practitioners and specialists in medical
anthropology, social theory, corporate ethics, science and
technology studies.
