This chapter examines how the introduction of technological regulatory standards in environmental law changed the terms of environmental policy debate in an unexpected manner. Technology as one tool to reach environmental goals began to be discussed in policy and legal research as if the technology standard was itself the ultimate policy goal. This led to debates and critiques over the merits of technology as a matter of environmental policy. Attacks came from the right in the form of efficiency critiques of laws requiring certain technologies or processes, and from the left in a general attac

Privacy, in human history, is a relatively recent concept. Nobody had much privacy in the Middle Ages. Even kings and queens lacked privacy: it was an age when crowds watched a queen give birth, and the king received visitors while on the chamber pot.

For example, the late 19th century invention of the candid camera made it possible, for the first time, to take someone’s picture without that person’s consent.

Abstract:

Do we need neurotechnology governance? The field of neurotechnology broadly encompasses any electronic device or method that can be used to read or modify the activity of neurons in the nervous system.Its potential to help cure mental illnesses and neurological disorders may amount to one of the most important medical achievements throughout history, opening a highway of hope for people suffering from diseases that go from Parkinson, Alzheimer’s, stroke and addiction to hearing loss and blindness. Recently, this technology has broken into the market leading to an increased availability of dire

Abstract:

Through engaging case studies and clear explanations of the underlying science, this book makes the social impacts and ethical consequences of recent advances in biomedicine understandable for general readers. Recent biomedical discoveries promise considerable improvement in the quality of human life, but they also hold the potential to permanently alter society. Are the anticipated benefits worth the price we would have to pay for them? In Where Science and Ethics Meet: Dilemmas at the Frontiers of Medicine and Biology, a biochemist and a biomedical researcher who are highly experienced in ex

Abstract:

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous high-income countries encountered heightened vacancy rates and labour shortages, which persisted into 2023. This paper examines the dynamics underlying labour market fluctuations in advanced economies, such as cyclical movements, structural shifts and pandemic-induced trends. The surge in labour demand following economic reopening varied across sectors, as sustained fiscal support measures bolstered demand, contributing to a pronounced uptick in vacancies. Statistics on labour force participation and working hours highlight the intricacies of the

Abstract:

This book explores technology and the global tech industry in relation to social, health, economic, and environmental relations and politics. Peter C. Little argues that the power and influence of electronics and Big Tech—from the proliferation of digital platforms to the expansion of global electronic waste streams—is a political-ecological problem that impacts communities and lives in both the Global North and South. From intense resource extraction, industrial pollution, and surging health and economic inequalities, to data-driven surveillance, platform economy proliferation and intrusion,

Abstract:

Global assessments have become central to international debates on a range of key policy issues. They attempt to combine “expert assessment” with processes of “stakeholder consultation” in what are presented as global, participatory assessments on key issues of major international importance. This chapter focuses on the IAASTD—the International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development—through a detailed analysis of the underlying knowledge politics involved, centered particularly on the controversy over genetically modified crops. Global assessments contribu
