“…Our paper will focus on the last issue. Even though the scope is quite broad, there are two questions of particular relevance: 1) the relationship between the perception of science in general and the perception of research in specific fields or related to specific technological applications (for instance, biotechnology or food safety : Bauer, 2002;Luján and Todt, 2000;Todt et al, 2007Todt et al, , 2009; 2) the usefulness of the general perception or appraisal of science as an indicator of the social support for public funding policies on scientific research. Both questions are related.…”

This article examines the relationship between the general public’s understanding of science and the attitude towards public funding of scientific research. It applies a multivariate and discriminant analysis (Wilks’ Lambda), in addition to a more commonly used bivariate analysis (Cramer’s V), to data compiled from the Third National Survey on the Social Perception of Science and Technology in Spain (FECYT, 2006). The general conclusion is that the multivariate analysis produces information complementary to the bivariate analysis, and that the variables commonly applied in public perception studies have limited predictive value with respect to the attitude towards public funding of scientific research.

“…Spain is the only (pre-enlargement) EU member state in which notable quantities (more than 50,000 hectares) of a GM crop (maize) have been grown for several years. But here, too, the issue of GMOs has sparked wide-ranging controversy (Lujá n and Todt 2000; Todt et al 2008).…”

This paper proposes a typology of two fundamentally opposing conceptualizations of managing technology under uncertainty: 'technology governability' and 'technology selection'. A wide variety of different versions of these idealized conceptualizations can be shown to underlie the controversies about scientifictechnological development. The example of genetic engineering indicates that such points of view are reconstructed over time in different forms and diverse settings, not only by the scientific community or during regulatory decision making, but by a rather wide-reaching spectrum of social actors. Thus, the current efforts to open up science and technology decision making to a wider range of participants is interpreted here as an effort of generating a new social contract for technology management, by way of bridging the differences between the two opposing conceptualizations.

“…Nevertheless, improving the transparency and traceability of food safety systems can significantly enhance consumers' regulatory capability [100]. For example, because of concerns about the safety of genetically modified food, citizens have called for and required adequate information disclosure by the government and companies in order to protect their rights [101].…”

We review relevant literature to propose the connotation and operation logic of food safety co-governance, systematically constitute by roles, functions, as well as the boundaries of public government, enterprise, and social forces. The major thesis is that social co-governance is a kind of societal-wide innovation (i.e., social innovation) that integrates diverse resources and efforts from multiple stakeholders for better and sustainable development of an economy’s food institution and system. We then put forward a prospect of the future research on food safety risk co-governance. Theoretical, practical, and policy implications are discussed.
