| Abstract
|
:
|
"By the 1980s, UK government science research laboratories were an often quirky but always essential part of the state sector. In one of the most radical experiments in the organisation and management of scientific research attempted in the United Kingdom, successive Conservative governments in the 1980s and 1990s sought to reform these laboratories by applying the market-based solution of 'New Public Management'.
|
|
|
:
|
For many laboratories this meant some form of privatisation; for the remainder it meant a significant degree of marketisation within the public sector. Scrutinising Science explores and critiques that reform process by examining the laboratories' new organisational forms, the new visions of what science is for as defined in the reform agenda, and the new forms of scientific knowledge production that have arisen as a consequence."--Jacket.
