Imagined Futures: Trust and Justice in Synthetic Biology Governance

Siewert, Stephanie; Kieslich, Katharina; Braun, Matthias; Dabrock, Peter

Pages: 7 –13

[The chapter discusses social and cultural implications and current areas of conflict in synthetic biology. Since there is the challenge of potentially misleading imaginaries and an overall uncertainty regarding research and application in the field, it is quintessential to consider the category...

Approaches in Defining Governance

Siewert, Stephanie; Kieslich, Katharina; Braun, Matthias; Dabrock, Peter

Pages: 15 –19

[The chapter discusses how governance in emerging biotechnologies has been conceptualized to deal with complex technological, ethical, and social questions. The authors explore the challenges in designing governance frameworks generally and for synthetic biology particularly. An understanding of...

Governance and Participation in Policy Literature on Synthetic Biology

Siewert, Stephanie; Kieslich, Katharina; Braun, Matthias; Dabrock, Peter

Pages: 21 –27

[The chapter deals with the different positions in engaging the public(s) in the field of synthetic biology and provides an overview of the most prominent avenues in research, policy, and non-governmental action. Against the notion that participation is merely “management of perceptions” or...

Governance and Public Participation

Siewert, Stephanie; Kieslich, Katharina; Braun, Matthias; Dabrock, Peter

Pages: 29 –45

[The chapter discusses different objectives of public participation in synthetic biology and suggests six focus areas across all governance dimensions, hard law, soft law, education, research impact, and research infrastructure, to design effective participation in synthetic biology. The authors...

Case Study: COVID-19 Vaccine Development

Siewert, Stephanie; Kieslich, Katharina; Braun, Matthias; Dabrock, Peter

Pages: 47 –53

[When talking about public participation and the regulatory decision-making process, it is crucial to think about the right time and purpose to involve different stakeholders. The chapter explores circumstantial prerequisites for participatory approaches on the basis of a more recent case study:...

Siewert, Stephanie; Kieslich, Katharina; Braun, Matthias; Dabrock, Peter

Pages: 55 –57

[In the conclusion, the authors argue that public participation should not be seen as a “one fits all” solution to a “crisis of trust” in emerging biotechnologies, but rather as a tool to work on collective visions for the future. To promote a productive approach in designing participatory...

Recommendations

Siewert, Stephanie; Kieslich, Katharina; Braun, Matthias; Dabrock, Peter

Pages: 59 –62

[The authors provide ten recommendations for participation in synthetic biology: from questions of distributional justice to communicative efforts via resources and training to the technical infrastructure. Looking more closely at the structural prerequisites, value systems and educational needs...
