Nanotechnology regulation - international approaches - NanoWerk, USA
A recent report (International Approaches to the Regulatory Governance of Nanotechnology) from the School of Public Policy and Administration at Carleton University in Canada gives an overview of how five jurisdictions (US, UK, EU, Australia and Canada) reacted to the recent emergence of nanotechnology-based products in the marketplace and it describes how this triggered activities in three domains: (a) public and stakeholder debate, (b) development of initial policy options, and (c) the management of regulatory development in a situation of scarce data.
