Integration, globalization and internationalization have all become watchwords for a series of dynamic processes and shifts in which the interface between science, technology and governance are deeply implicated. As a result, not only are the policies of national governments being exposed in terms of the limits of their sovereignty. but science and technology are becoming increasingly central to a wide range of public issues from security, privacy and employment to environment development and geopolitics. Clearly, the ways in which government organize their science, technology and innovation policies, their research advisory structures and their knowledge intelligence systems matter more than ever before. In turn, the contract between science and democracy is bein re-written. This book is the first to comprehensively discuss these critical issue
