Adèle Langlois is Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at the University of Lincoln. She has conducted fieldwork in India, Kenya and South Africa. Her research interests include the regulation of human genetic and biomedical research, polio eradication, environmental ethics and normative theories of global governance. Zusammenfassung Negotiating Bioethics examines whether the UNESCO Bioethics Programme is an effective forum for (a) decision-making on bioethics issues and (b) ensuring ethical practice. Considering two different aspects of the UNESCO Bioethics Programme – deliberation and implementation – at international and national levels, Langlois presents a truly global perspective on bioethics.Foreword.
