The Politics of GM Food: A Comparative Study of the UK, USA and EU (Routledge Research in Environmental Politics)
Editorial Reviews
Review
Why have GM Foods become so controversial? Comparing GM food politics in the US, Britain, and the European Union, Toke draws on insights from discourse analysis to help explain this basic political struggle of our time. By stressing the interplay between the material and discursive dimensions involved in the shaping of the conflict, the work offers a detailed account that enriches our political understanding of these 'Frankenfoods' on a variety of fronts, in particular the interplay between scientific expertise and citizens politics. Those interested in the 'risk society', both students and specialists, will find much to learn from this perceptive analysis.

Genetic modification of food has divided science and politics, regulation and participation, Europe and America, business and the consumer, and values and ethics. In this tumultuous cauldron David Toke has dissected all of antagonisms to produce a magnificent analysis of a changing world of science, technology, democracy and sustainability that has no equal.
