Governing Science and Technology under the International Economic Order

Abstract

The Book discusses the prospect of Governance of Science and Technology within the existing International Economic Order with a special focus on Mega regional agreements with Chapters on Technology. To begin with, the authors could have done well to conceptualise governance as distinct from regulation, as also limiting the understanding of the International Economic Order to its structural elements and organisation.[1,2] It is another matter that even this epistemic division on the approach apart, the process of negotiation has several pitfalls.
