Principles and practices for using scientific advice in government decision making : international best practices / Dr William Smith, Dr Janet Halliwell. : Iu173-31/1999E-PDF

"The structures of science systems vary enormously, reflecting the distinctive history and culture of those countries concerned. These variations inevitably influence systems of science management, the natureofthe relationship between scientists, decision makers and the public, and the role of science advice in public decision making. While this is so, in the face of increasing globalization, political integration (as in the European Union) and the emergence of new trading agreements (such as NAFTA and GATT) and international conventions (for example, the Convention on Climate Change and the Convention on Biodiversity), there are clear moves to build and restructure these relationships, by 'swapping politics for expertise'"--Introduction, page 4.
