| Summary |
"Bringing together the ideas of experts from around the world, this incisive text offers cutting-edge perspectives on the risk analysis and governance of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), supporting effective and informed decision-making in developing countries. Comprised of four comprehensive sections, this book covers: Integrated risk analysis and decision making, giving an overview of the science involved and examining risk analysis methods that impact decision-making on the release of GMOs, particularly in developing countries. Diversification of expertise involved in risk analysis and practical ways in which the lack of expertise in developing countries can be overcome. Risk analysis based regulatory systems and how they can be undermined by power relationships and socio-political interests, as well as strategies for improving GMO policy development and regulatory decision-making. Case studies from developing countries providing lessons based on real-world experience that can inform our current thinking"--Provided by publisher. |
