Re-Purifying Scientific Authority: The Counter-Intuitive Case of Sweden
- 2004
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The report is based on the Swedish contributions to the EU FP6 thematic network 'STAGE' – Science, technology and governance in Europe. Three case studies framed by an assessment of the current state of science-and-society are presented. It is argued that a neo-classical research policy has gained ground, one which by reactivating certain esteemed early postwar relations now neglects the 'new social contract' between science and society so vividly discussed in many other countries; hence leaving crucial governance issues merely to the self-regulation of the scientific community.

Facility siting: Risk, Power and Identity in Land Use Planning
- 2004
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- From dams to landfill sites, and power plants to radioactive waste repositories, the siting of facilities is a veritable minefield of conflicts involving industry, planners, authorities, NGOs and citizens. This penetrating volume examines risk, power and identity in contests over the siting of infrastructure and industrial facilities. Going beyond nimby-ism, experts in a variety of fields bring a multiperspective analysis from science, law and media to case studies from the UK, USA and Europe, and expose the political and cultural dimensions of siting conflicts. In the process they show how place attachment and notions of landscape and local identity play a prominent role in resistance to ?development?. Topics covered include the importance of context in siting controversies, siting methods and social representation, siting conflicts, the importance of institutional thinking in facility siting, risk, industrial encroachment and the sense of place, siting and sacred places, and law and fairness. This book is essential reading for academics in social sciences, policy, planning, law and risk; policy makers, planners and decision makers at all levels of government; business and industry, particularly energy generation, including nuclear and renewables, transportation and large dams; risk assessment professionals; and NGOs and activists.
