Release Notes

Since 9/11 and the U.S. anthrax attacks, public, and policy concerns about the
security threats posed by biological weapons has increased significantly. As a
result, there are now active international deliberations about what restrictions
should be placed on the openness of scientific research. Biotechnology, Security
and the Search for Limits examines these security implications for life science
research as well as the methodological issues associated with conducting social
research. In doing so the book considers the place of biological and social
research in creating and responding to societal problems through drawing on
diverse academic traditions such as discourse analysis, social problems studies,
philosophy, action research, science and technology studies, politics, and
public policy.
