Notes

The paper argues that many of the failures surrounding the case of BSE in the UK in the 1990s were typical rather than exceptional in relation to science and governance. Contrary to the exhaustive official inquiry led by Lord Phillips, this was a paradigmatic case of risk policy-making with little scientific or democratic legitimacy. Dr van Zwanenberg led the research into the extensive archives for this joint study.
