Jacobs’s skill as a writer is clear in her ability to guide the reader through the administrative labyrinth of late twentieth-century Dutch science governance while always relating this back to national debates in the medical and popular press.\" * Isis *\u003cbr\u003e\"Jacobs’ history of the Dutch research ethics committees is an impressive, conceptually aware discussion of policy debates, a socio-political analysis with focus on institutions, committees and public discourses...\" * Low Countries Historical Review *\u003cbr\u003e\"An important new contribution to the history of bioethics and research ethics. Jacobs does more than simply fill a historiographical gap: the focus on the Netherlands allows her to convincingly argue that bioethics and research ethics do not have a singular history, and that we need to examine the historically specific interplay between medicine, society, and the state if we want to explain developments in specific times and places. Her insights and conclusions significantly add to our understanding of the mechanisms and schools of thought in medicine, philosophy, and politics that caused research ethics and bioethics more broadly to become global phenomena in recent decades.\" -- Duncan Wilson, University of Manchester\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Note on Translations\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part I: Internal Control\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1.
