NEW GLOBAL FRONTIERS IN REGULATION: THE AGE OF NANOTECHNOLOGY

Book ID/图书代码： 04289511B47922

English Summary/英文概要： Our growing ability to manufacture materials at the atomic scale will change our lives for the better, and tomorrow’s nano-economy will outperform today’s information age. Or so its proponents claim. Others maintain that a future dominated by commercial incentives risks a toxicological nightmare to rival the sorry global story of asbestos.

This important volume is a timely contribution to increasing international calls to regulate nanotechnologies. By investigating the ways in which we could regulate these advances, and what we are learning from regulating existing technologies, such as biotechnologies and information technologies, the book debates the roles of government, business actors and the professions in protecting and enhancing the lives of citizens. In placing particular emphasis on the lessons of earlier technology advances, this book is unique in its broad consideration of the ethical, legal and social issues entwined within the development of the nanotechnology family.

The multi-jurisdictional and interdisciplinary nature of the book will appeal to governments, academics, and civil societies across many parts of the world, while also remaining accessible to informed readers with an interest in nanotechnology and the policy and governance issues associated with technology development and regulation.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 我们利用原子标度生产商品的能力与日俱增，这将令我们的生活变得越来越好，而且未来的纳米经济将会超过今天的信息时代。这就是纳米技术呼吁者的声称。而其他人则坚持认为以商业动机为主导力量的未来若要与令全球遗憾的石棉故事向抗衡的话则必须冒着经历一场噩梦的危险。针对国际上越来越多的呼声要求控制纳米技术，本书的及时出现则显得尤为重要。通过调查我们可以采用何种方式掌控这些先进技术，以及我们可以从掌控这些现有技术中所学到的东西，例如生物技术和信息技术，本书讨论了政府、商业参与者以及保护和加强各行各业居民生活的职业的职责所在。本书特别强调了学习早期科技进步的重要性，因而在伦理，法律以及社会问题考虑范围上十分广泛，同时将纳米技术的发展纳入其中。

这本涉及多方司法管辖以及跨学科研究作品必将会吸引政府，学术团体以及遍及世界多地的国民社团。与此同时，本书对于那些对纳米技术和对科技发展相关政策和管理感兴趣的读者来说也是十分易于理解的。(兼职翻译-XMM)
