Abstract
Based on half a decade of interdisciplinary research and informed by multi-stakeholder insights, this book proposes options for effective and inclusive governance for nanotechnology in India. It covers a range of issues such as potential research and development (R&D) prospects, science and technology (S&T) capacities and innovation systems, issues of environment, health and safety, risk and regulatory preparedness, and prospective socio-economic and ethical repercussions. With a focus on Indian developments, as well as the accompanying regulatory challenges, the book provides insights for policy and effective multi-level governance of nanotechnology.
