Abstract

Oversight systems for emerging technologies involve a diversity of institutions, stakeholders, and goals; yet they are usually based upon one or a few perspectives. This paper uses a multi-framework approach to evaluate the oversight system for genetically engineered organisms in India. It uses four established frameworks — policy options, risk assessment, risk management and regulatory oversight — and ethics, to assess strengths and weaknesses of the system. Through the case study, the authors argue that multiple frameworks should be used in the design and evaluation of oversight systems for emerging technologies. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
