In this article, we examine the changing terms on which genetics-based technologies in two areas agriculture (Genetically Modified Organism, GMOs) and health (genetic diagnostics) have been regulated. These are used to illustrate and examine the proposition that shifts in the politics of governance and regulation (associated in part with the advent of the negotiation state) have meant that the responsibility for the social management of new technology is increasingly shared between the state and the consumer. However, this redistribution of the social management of risk, we argue, fails to establish a sufficient basis for a legitimate regulatory trust. We suggest that trust will depend on embedding broad social values and a self-critical agenda within the regulatory regime itself. |
