Some Reservations about the Gap Concept: A response to: Bradshaw and Borchers. 2000. 'Uncertainty as Information: Narrowing the Science-Policy Gap'

Abstract

"Although Bradshaw and Borchers (2000) have made an admirable attempt to conceptualize the myriad problems of scientific uncertainty in policy, I have some serious reservations about the representation of the sciencepolicy gap as a lag in public confidence. Recent developments in science studies have shown that to know science is not necessarily to love it."
