NEW GLOBAL FRONTIERS IN REGULATION, Graeme Hodge, Diana Bowman and Karinne Ludlow

NEW GLOBAL FRONTIERS IN REGULATION, Graeme Hodge, Diana Bowman and Karinne Ludlow

"New Global Frontiers in Regulation - The Age of Nanotechnology" is the first book ever to be published, that tackles the subject of regulation and policy development in the rapidly developing realm of nanotechnology. In this interview conducted by AZoNano, the books' editors Professor Graeme Hodge, Dr. Diana Bowman and Dr. Karinne Ludlow from the Monash Centre for Regulatory Studies at Monash University reveal their motivation behind assembling a world class team of authors to compile a comprehensive volume that addresses the issues and current state of play in nanotechnology regulation.

In this exclusive interview, the editors explain the importance of the publication and why it is so timely. They also relate the current scenario to past experiences such as GM crops, asbestos and stem cell research and explain the lessons that can be learned from those experiences.

Other issues addresses in the book and the interview are:

  • The effect of policy on scientific and technological development
  • The effect of policy on the general public
  • Who should be involved in policy development ?
  • How important is public awareness?

For answers to these and more questions, listen to the interview or get a copy of the book.

"New Global Frontiers in Regulation is the first book in the world to address the issues of regulation and policy in nanotechnology. As the field is still in its early stages and rapidly evolving, and the definition of nanotechnology still to be agreed on, this book represents a starting point for the ongoing challenge that will accompany nanotechnology through its growth."
