Sommario/riassunto

With an international team of experts presenting case studies and



analyses drawn from the US, UK, Asia and Europe, Collaboration in the New Life Sciences offers a critical examination of the causes and consequences of changing patterns of scientific collaboration in the life sciences. It will appeal to scholars and students of science and technology studies, as well as those interested in science, social policy, and the sociology of work and organizations.
