This paper considers the challenges entailed in applying the principles and methods of public participation to national and international policy processes. It draws on evidence from the field of biotechnology policy and biosafety regulation in Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Estonia, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Malaysia, Mexico, Namibia, New Zealand, Norway, the United Kingdom, the United States and Zimbabwe. The paper makes a distinction between the regulatory-scientific concept of “biosafety” and the more encompassing and socially-defined politics of “biotechnology” and “Biosafety”, developed largely at the international level, frames the regulatory issues relating to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) within narrow and technically-defined boundaries. As a consequence of the drive to harmonise and normalise biosafety regulation internationally, it has confronted the more diverse, unruly and contested politics of biotechnology at national and local levels.
