This article is a critical transdisciplinary overview of genetically modified (GM) crop regulation in Australia. It appears that the Gene Technology Act 2000 rests on an elective affinity between genetic determinism in science and neo-liberal trade policy. The article finds problems arising from this affinity in local understandings of GM science; bureaucratic organisation; the implementation of risk assessment; preference for the World Trade Organisation (WTO) regime versus Biosafety Protocol; Federal-State relations; and advocacy of the principle of coexistence. In response to these shortcomings, the article proposes a broader social basis for evaluation of technologies such as GM and offers some ethical parameters to guide this discursive politics. The text is written to help those active in the regulation of GM in Australia to reflect on the complexity of epistemological and ethical issues involved. As such, the article is both a case study and an intervention, although plainly, each substantive area visited in the survey is grist for deeper research by political scientists. |
