Biotechnology Regulation in America and Europe

SUGGESTED
Energy and Environment
Utility regulation in Britain has now entered a phase in which debate is no longer so much concerned with whether it is preferable to rival systems but with how to shape the'regulatory contract' in monopoly areas and, in potentially competitive areas, how to ensure rivalry.

Education
Functional illiteracy, youth delinquency and lack of technical innovation all point to the failures of state schooling, raising the question of why government should be involved in education at all. In this radical study Dr. James Tooley provides a damning critique of the justifications for state schooling and proposes practical policies to increase market provision of education.

Viewed in a Cultural Framework
This is any essay not only to be read, but pondered. Dr. Gaull’s thesis suggests that the modern biotechnology industry has evolved with far less resistance in the United States than in Germanic Europe due to deeply-rooted and fundamentally divergent cultural trajectories. Drawing on his vast grasp of the philosophical and the material and the numerous disciplines that seek to reconcile them with one another, Dr. Gaul ultimately attempts to place the current status of the world-wide biotechnology revolution in an historical context. The content of this essay will undoubtedly stir usually placid historians into active controversy, and provide statesmen and industrialists with arguments to popularise their varying objectives. As important as these outcomes may be, it will also, I hope, inspire us to seek a better understanding of the place of biotechnology in our own cultural fabric. For, in the end, the contribution of this far-ranging essay should not be based on how many questions it answers, but rather, on how many it raises.
