| Synopsis: |
This work provides a wide-ranging review of the international and global consequences of advances in the science of biotechnology. It brings together experts in global conflict, international political economy, busines, ethics and gender to assess the impact of biotechnology on the political economy of agriculture, biodiversity, the environment and North-South relations as well as biological warfare. The diversity of biotechnology is matched by the diversity of its international impacts - and this in turn requires a broad expertise to make sense of the issues. There are three sections. The first considers the nature of the science itself, the normative questions rasied and the significance of gender responses. Following these broad issues, the second section addresses biotechnology in relation to international policial economy, trade and the environment, highlighting the politics of food and patents. The final section tackles the question of biological knowledge applied to weapons and the global responses. |
