Description: "The Politics of GM Food compares and explains how differing political outcomes have occurred regarding GM food and crops in the UK, USA and the EU, thus throwing light on the relationship between science and politics." "Dave Toke uses a discourse approach to analyse the varying regulatory and political approaches, developing a unique framework to describe how different countries have distinctive relationships between scientific assessments of GM food crops and dominant cultural attitudes." "This volume will interest students and researchers of environmental science, politics and sociology."--Jacket.
