Science, politics, and the renegotiation of expertise at EPA / by Sheila Jasanoff.
Abstract:
Addresses the following questions on the production and use of science at the Environmental Protectional Agency. 'How has this perennially embattled agency balanced the need for scientific credibility with persistent and skeptical scrutiny of its research and risk assessment activities? What are the salient features of the science that EPA has mustered to support its policy conclusions? What lessons, in turn, do EPA's experiences hold for our understanding of the nature of postwar science and its relation to political authority?'
