Fortunately, the authors offer promising reforms to buttress the integrity of science in the midst of the politics of rulemaking. -- John D. Graham, Dean, School of Public and Environmental Affairs, Indiana University\u003cbr\u003eProvocative and timely, Institutions and Incentives in Regulatory Science raises crucial questions for anyone interested in science and public policy. In the abstract, everyone agrees that legitimate policy making depends on both credible science as well as on political and moral judgment. But in practice, as the cases in this book engagingly show, the challenge lies in discerning the appropriate roles for science and politics—and then keeping each in their respective places. Few challenges are more central to contemporary regulatory policy over matters as varied as climate change, biodiversity, and toxic pollution. -- Cary Coglianese, University of Pennsylvania\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Introduction by Jason Scott Johnston\t\t PART I.
