OverviewThis collection takes the perspective that the historiography of science, technology, and medicine needs a broader approach toward regulation. The authors explore the distinct social worlds involved in regulation, the forms of evidence and expertise mobilized, and means of intervention chosen to tame drugs in factories, consulting rooms and courts.

This is all thought-provoking, quality work. The 'ways of regulating' framework brings wonderfully sophisticated analysis to the history of drug regulation, especially when focused on state, industrial, professional, and juridical actors whose power to create and enforce is evident. - David Herzberg, University at Buffalo, USA Ways of Regulating Drugs offers a stimulating history of the pharmaceutical products and industry during the 19th and 20th century. The choice of the authors is to assume different ways of analysing drug trajectories the demonstration is really convincing: it shows that if drugs aren't like other goods and if public health refers to a specific market, their history might not remain at the frontiers of the history of sciences, economic history or political history. The question of drug trajectories and of their regulations has become crucial enough to be liable to resolutely and fruitful multidisciplinary approaches, of which this book is a major issue. - Sophie Chauveau, Gesnerus, 71, (2014) Author InformationCHRISTIAN BONAH Professor for the History of Medical and Health Sciences at the University of Strasbourg, France ALBERTO CAMBROSIO Professor in the Department of Social Studies of Medicine at McGill University, Canada MAURICE CASSIER Sociologist and a Senior Researcher for the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), France JEREMY GREENE Assistant Professor of the History of Science at Harvard University, USA AXEL C.
