Rescuing Science from Politics debuts chapters by the nation's
leading academics in law, science, and philosophy who explore ways
that the law can be abused by special interests to intrude on the
way scientists conduct research. The high stakes and adversarial
features of regulation create the worst possible climate for the
honest production and use of science especially by those who will
ultimately bear the cost of the resulting regulatory standards. Yet
an in-depth exploration of the ways in which dominant interest
groups distort the available science to support their positions has
received little attention in the academic or popular literature.
The book begins by establishing non-controversial principles of
good scientific practice. These principles then serve as the
benchmark against which each chapter author compares how science is
misused in a specific regulatory setting and assist in isolating
problems in the integration of science by the regulatory process.
