A comprehensive assessment of European public opinion and biotechnology. It brings together comparative research on policy making, media coverage and public perceptions. This book is the major output from a three-year research initiative undertaken by an international, multidisciplinary team of social scientists. Following an introductory conceptualisation of biotechnology in the public sphere, Part Two brings together information on the policy activity, media coverage and public perceptions of biotechnology in European countries. Part Three is a detailed analysis of a major European survey of public perceptions. Part Four brings together the three elements of the research and provides a synthetic overview of the development of public perceptions of biotechnology in Europe.

Biotechnology is one of the major technologies of the twenty-first century. Its wide-ranging, multi-disciplinary activities include recombinant DNA techniques, cloning and the application of microbiology to the production of goods from bread to antibiotics. In this new edition of the textbook Basic Biotechnology, biology and bioprocessing topics are uniquely combined to provide a complete overview of biotechnology. The fundamental principles that underpin all biotechnology are explained and a full range of examples are discussed to show how these principles are applied; from starting substrate to final product. A distinctive feature of this text are the discussions of the public perception of biotechnology and the business of biotechnology, which set the science in a broader context. This comprehensive textbook is essential reading for all students of biotechnology and applied microbiology, and for researchers in biotechnology industries.

Bringing together the perspectives of both researchers and practitioners on public opinion processes, these case studies look at public opinion data, communication theory and international examples to see how public opinion is formed. Empirical tests of theories of opinion formation are studied as well as practical experiences used to provide critical insights on communication strategies.

A Grain of Truth debunks the myth that growing public distrust of genetically modified organisms can be attributed to scientific illiteracy or sensationalistic news stories. Arguing neither for nor against genetic engineering and other forms of biotechnology, this book charges both media and industry with ignoring the concerns of the general public and encourages greater public debate over biotech and other such complex issues.

This book incorporates two major themes into a model for communication about biotechnology. The first is that of a communicating community, defined as a relatively coherent social group engaging in communication within itself. As biotechnologists do not constitute a unitary group, this book refers to biotechnology communities. Similarly, the broad notion of ‘the public’ is considered to be inadequate, and the notion of distinct public communities is used. The members of each community are considered to have a view of biotechnology made up of their understandings of the nature of science of biotechnology, understandings of the key concepts and models used in biotechnology, perceptions of the nature of risk, and beliefs and attitudes about biotechnology. The second major theme is that of search space. This is the intersection, in a virtual arena, of the components of the ‘views’ of two communities. Where there are elements that are in common to the two, communication in terms of them is possible. Where there is no commonality, the degrees of understanding reached must be used to construct a mutual understanding that may evolve into an agreement.

Throughout the period 1996-2000, the International Research Group on Biotechnology and the Public has continued its systematic research in investigating the relations between policy making, media coverage and public perceptions. This book presents a timely and detailed mapping of the public reception of biotechnology in 14 European countries, the USA and Canada. It includes time-series analysis of public attitudes interpreted in the context of media coverage and policy making. Since 1996, biotechnology has been the focus of wide-ranging controversies and has achieved enormous public prominence. There have been dramatic developments, such as the commercial exploitation of genetically-modified (GM) crops and foods, which resulted in supermarket boycotts of GM ingredients and conflicts among European Union institutions and member states. Contrasting views on the risks associated with GM foods have attracted the interest of the US government and World Trade Organization, leading to threats of a transatlantic trade war. In the mass media, coverage of biotechnology moved from scientific articles to editorials, news and political sections. Will be of interest to social scientists, researchers, industrialists, activists and policy makers.
