The examination combines social movement theories, communication studies and science and technology studies. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the book provides an insight into the interwoven relationship between social and political controls and knowledge monopoly and looks into a central issue neglected by previous science communication studies: why have different controversies shown divergent patterns despite similar social and political contexts? It is revealed that the media environment, political opportunity structures, knowledge-control regimes, and activists' strategies have jointly triggered, nurtured, and sustained these controversies and led to the development of different patterns. Based on these observations, the author also discusses the significance of science communication studies in promoting China's social transformation and further explores the feasible approach to a more generic framework to understand science controversies across the world. The book will be of value to the academics of science communication, science and technology studies, political science studies and sociology, as well as general readers interested in China's science controversies and social movements"-- Provided by publisher. 517 $aScience in Movements 606 $aCommunication in science$zChina 606 $aScience and state$zChina 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects$zChina 610 $aCommunication Studies 610 $aScience Communication 610 $aScience Controversies in China 610 $aSocial Movement 615 0$aCommunication in science 615 0$aScience and state 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects 676 $a306.4509510905 700 $aJia$b Hepeng$01271673 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910488730503321 996 $aScience in Movements$92995716 997 $aUNINA
