Description
Science and politics have long been intertwined, with science often invoked in political debates. However, the relationship between the two is complex and sometimes contentious. Geoff Mulgan, a leading policy analyst, explores the growing tensions between science and politics, particularly in the context of risk governance. Mulgan examines the history of states' use of science for conquest, economic growth, and other purposes, highlighting the challenges of governing risk in areas such as nuclear weapons, genetic modification, and artificial intelligence. He argues that the governance of science has become a major challenge of the 21st century, with implications for democracy and government. Mulgan proposes new ways to organize democracy and government to better harness the benefits of science and technology, while minimizing its risks. This book offers a thought-provoking analysis of the intersection of science and politics, and its relevance to contemporary policy debates.
