Summary:

Since 1996, biotechnology has been the focus of wide-ranging public controversy and deliberation in the developed world. The debates have been intensified by dramatic developments, such as expanded commercial exploitation of genetically modified (GM) crops and foods and boy-cotts of GM ingredients in Europe. Biotechnology 1996-2000 includes a time-series analysis of public attitudes interpreted in the context of media coverage and policymaking.
