{"product_id":"9781848137769","title":"Science and Citizens: Globalization and the Challenge of Engagement","description":"Rapid advances and new technologies in the life sciences - such as biotechnologies in health, agricultural and environmental arenas - pose a range of pressing challenges to questions of citizenship. This volume brings together for the first time authors from diverse experiences and analytical traditions, encouraging a conversation between science and technology and development studies around issues of science, citizenship and globalisation. It reflects on the nature of expertise; the framing of knowledge; processes of public engagement; and issues of rights, justice and democracy. A wide variety of pressing issues is explored, such as medical genetics, agricultural biotechnology, occupational health and HIV\/AIDS. Drawing upon rich case studies from Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe, Science and Citizens asks:  · Do new perspectives on science, expertise and citizenship emerge from comparing cases across different issues and settings? · What difference does globalisation make? · What does this tell us about approaches to risk, regulation and public participation? · How might the notion of ‘cognitive justice‘ help to further debate and practice?","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47153393533168,"sku":"9781848137769","price":43.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781848137769_p0.jpg?v=1763749489","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781848137769","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
