      abstract = {This paper describes three cases of government-led efforts  in France and
the United States to bring stakeholders into  the regulatory process for genetically-modified
food. We  analyze how government regulators, scientists, and members  of the public
interacted in these three different settings,  and conclude that public participation is not
linked with a  regulatory outcome; in other words, for various reasons  which we consider,
public participation did not have a  substantive impact on government policies in
this area. We  consider how these processes could be improved, by drawing  on two distinct
literatures — social studies of science and  organization theory. A more conscious crossfertilization
of  the two literatures would shed some insights broadly on  science and
public organizations, and particularly on the  problem of regulating a complex and
uncertain area of  technology.},
