Table of ContentsReviewsIn this excellent and important book Littoz-Monnet demonstrates the mechanisms through which experts assert their authority to steer knowledge production, advance policies, and fend off unwanted debates from politicians and interest groups. Drawing from rich cases on embryo research, nanotechnology, and data protection, Littoz-Monnet does the field a great service in detailing how experts, policymakers, and private engage in orchestration, ideational alignment, and calibration to stabilize struggles between science and politics. Leonard Seabrooke, Professor in International Political Economy & Economic Sociology, Copenhagen Business School In this original and brilliantly argued book, Littoz-Monnet shows that far from opening up policies to wider deliberation, the use of ethics expertise can bypass or close down contestation, effectively buffering policymakers from scrutiny. The book offers an insightful and compelling analysis of this hugely important but overlooked aspect of expertise in policy. Christina Boswell, Dean of Research, College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Edinburgh Littoz-Monet's fascinating look at bioethical knowledge provides a window into the politics of expertise, the relationship between objective and ethical knowledge, and how a rationalizing world that privileges expert and objective knowledge creates a space for a bureaucratized ethics with all the advantages and disadvantages that accompany it. Governing through Expertise is a stimulating exploration of how science tames ethics and ethics tames science.
