Beskrivning
Focusing on the internal workings of the International Whaling Commission (IWC), the author explores the impact of political and economic imperatives on the production and interpretation of scientific research. Central to this work are the epistemological problems encountered in the production of 'truth', whereby scientific knowledge has made uncertainty a tool in the service of political objectives.

Recensioner i media
"In Scientific Uncertainty and the Politics of Whaling, Michael Heazle undertakes a detailed historical review of the use of science and politics in shaping the policies of the International Whaling Commission (IWC)... This volume provides an insightful look at the intrinsic links between science and policy, reminding the reader that science does not provide objective truths for decision-makers to translate into scientifically correct policies." -- Cinnamon Pinon Carlarne nternational Journal of Maritime History
