> forms of participation, the agenda setting role of economic policy,
> delimitation of publics, etc.
>
> The difference, as I understand it, between ICTs and environmental and/or
> biotechnological issues has been mainly that the latter have usually been
> debated in terms of the risk that they potentially encompass, while ICTs
> are usually been discussed in terms of the 'progress' they promise.
>
> Does anyone happen to know any studies on ICTs (preferably of the EU
> context) that discuss such issues?
