Morris argues that regulatory science by itself is inadequate to address risk concerns, and that public policy initiatives should be applied to broaden policy discourse around the environmental implications of emerging technologies.Deliberative democracyUnited StatesEnvironmental policyUnited StatesPublic opinionNanotechnologyEnvironmental aspectsGovernment policyUnited StatesDeliberative democracyEnvironmental policyPublic opinion.NanotechnologyEnvironmental aspectsGovernment policy363.18/9Morris Jeffery T.1961-1462589MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790184903321Risk, language, and power3671618UNINA
