| Research Abstract |
1.We made an investigation into how techno-scientific knowledge is produced, distributed and consumed between governmental, industrial, university and civic sectors from the point of view of economics and organization study. We also examined the possibilities of mediating between these sectors each of which has different end of knowledge pursuit, that is the possibilities of public sphere. 2.We made it clear the disunity of science by comparatively investigating scientists' view of science in different research fields. This will prepare for the public sphere. 3.What is the relationship between scientific validity and social validity in the administrative process of the regulation and risk assessment of techno-sciense? From this point of view, we examined the regulatory sciences at Japanese administrative offices.
