While it is a truism that emerging technologies present both
opportunities for and challenges to their host communities, the
legal community has only recently begun to consider their
significance. On the one hand, emerging information, bio, nano, and
neurotechnologies challenge policy-makers who aspire to put in
place a regulatory environment that is legitimate, effective, and
sustainable; on the other hand, these same technologies offer new
opportunities as potentially powerful regulatory instruments. In
this unique volume, a team of leading international scholars
address many of the key difficulties surrounding the regulation of
emerging technological targets as well as the implications of
adopting technology as a regulatory tool. How should we rise to the
challenge of regulating technologies? How are the regulatory lines
to be drawn in the right places and how is the public to be
properly engaged? How is precaution to be accommodated, and how can
the law keep pace with technologies that develop ahead of the
regulatory environment? How readily should we avail ourselves of
the opportunity to use technology as a regulative strategy? How are
we to understand these strategies and the challenges which they
raise? To what extent do they give rise to similar policy problems
accompanying more 'traditional' regulatory instruments or generate
distinctive challenges? While the criminal justice system
increasingly relies on technological assistance and the development
of a 'surveillance society', is a regulatory regime that rules by
technology compatible with rule of law values?
