Jones, R.A.L. (2011) What has nanotechnology taught us about contemporary technoscience? In: Zülsdorf, T., Coenen, C., Ferrari, A. and Fiedeler, U., (eds.) Quantum Engagements: Social Reflections of Nanoscience and Emerging Technologies. IOS Press , Amsterdam ISBN 978-1-6750-953-0
Abstract
Nanotechnology has emerged as one of the dominating themes of international science policy in the last decade. I argue that, rather than considering this as the emergence of a new scientific field, nanotechnology is best thought of as a socio-political project that has arisen as a result of influences both from within science, and from the wider political, economic and cultural climate
