Reviews
Stanley Rosen, University of Southern California:
Based on a decade of fieldwork and interviews, Cong Cao's impressive research offers a fascinating window into the complexity of Chinese policy making on a highly contentious issue. Revealing the difficulty of formulating a consistent, sustainable policy that can reconcile the interests of the multiple actors and stakeholders, it will be of wide interest within Chinese and science and technology studies, as well as to those seeking business opportunities in agricultural biotechnology.
