Dear Vasilis, thanks for the resources, although my interest is more focused in studies comparing public engagement with ICTs and environmental/biotech issues in terms of public participation, delimitation of publics, framing of issues, etc. Best, Dimitris

Dear all,
I am a graduate student working on a paper concerning ICTs in Greece in terms of policy formation and science-technology governance.
I am aware that studies on environmental movements and/or biotechnology have been concerned with issues such as framing expertise and publics, forms of participation, the agenda setting role of economic policy, delimitation of publics, etc.
The difference, as I understand it, between ICTs and environmental and/or biotechnological issues has been mainly that the latter have usually been debated in terms of the risk that they potentially encompass, while ICTs are usually been discussed in terms of the 'progress' they promise.
Does anyone happen to know any studies on ICTs (preferably of the EU context) that discuss such issues?
Thanks in advance,
Dimitris Kalamaras graduate student University of Patras Greece
