[Air-l] Request for help on ICTs & STS

[Dimitris B. Kalamaras]

Dear Vasilis,

thanks for the resources, although my interest is more focused in studies
comparing public engagement with ICTs and environmental/biotech issues in
terms of  public participation, delimitation of publics, framing of
issues, etc.

Best,
Dimitris

>> Dear all,

>> of economic policy, delimitation of publics, etc.

>> The difference, as I understand it, between ICTs and environmental

>>
>> Does anyone happen to know any studies on ICTs (preferably of the EU
>> context) that discuss such issues?
