Synopsis

This comprehensive Handbook examines innovation in the pharmaceutical sector using ideas drawn from the interdisciplinary field of science and technology studies (STS). Leading experts present diverse social science approaches to pharmaceuticals, consolidating existing research and providing an agenda for future research in this area.

International contributors critically analyse the global dynamics of knowledge production, the political economy of manufacturing, the making of markets, their regulation and governance, and the diverse ecologies of consumption for pharmaceuticals. The Handbook deconstructs the constituent parts that make up the social, political and economic power of the pharmaceutical sector while also foregrounding alternatives to the dominant mode of innovation and production.

The Handbook of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology Studies is an essential resource for students and scholars in STS, economics, innovation and technology, health and social policy. It is also a valuable read for policymakers, professionals and practitioners involved in global bio-pharma innovation.
