Summary

In Autumn 2009, a group of personalities agreed to put their arguments to the test - economic, biological, philosophical, legal or political.

This book shows the dissent over the questions of risk and uncertainty, over the existence of several rationalities, over the notions of usefulness and interest, over the idea of manipulating opinion and decision and so on. Areas of common ground have also emerged, for example on the need to redefine the expertise model. Above all, once GMO are considered as "simple" tools, their uses in a complex system, starting with agricultural models, are at the heart of the debate. Two worlds are colliding - science and politics. Progress with the discovery of new words, a book without biais, for all citizens seeking to form an opinion, professional players and policymakers lacking a marker, researchers and students who analyse these controversies.
