Abstract
In recent decades a body of work in the social sciences has studied the way regulations work in the field of science, technology and innovation (STI). It has detected changes in the interaction of regulators with the regulated in terms of a movement away from top-down, command-and control ‘government’ towards a new bottom-up ‘governance’ approach that focuses on problemsolving rather than regulatory bargaining.
