Edition Details: Introduction to a special issue
Language: English

Not an abstract- Informing our discussion are questions such as: What regulatory developments have occurred since the seminal event of the 1975 Asilomar meeting? Which areas of genetic engineering biotechnology have been regulated? Which regulatory strategies were deployed? What explanations do we have for the emergence of different regulatory strategies? What impacts did these strategies have on scientific-technological development, society, and the political system? How did they accommodate and/or act upon scientific debate, likewise public attitudes? Did any `policy learning' occur during the last three decades of recombinant DNA regulation? In addressing such questions, this collection focuses especially on what appears to be the central regulatory themes of the Asilomar legacy (for example, Krimsky, 1982): first, keeping the field of bioscience free of intervention from the side of legislative and regulatory agencies, so that scientists could develop and enhance their authority and licence to undertake experiments of their or their patron's desire; and, second, to retain an overall defining influence over the strategic shape (the nature and direction) of r-DNA experimentation and innovation and its normalization to society.
