Evaluating the First U.S. Consensus Conference: The Impact of the Citizens' Panel on Telecommunications and the Future of Democracy
In: Science, technology, & human values: ST&HV, Band 24, Heft 4, S. 451-482
ISSN: 1552-8251
Consensus conferences, also known as citizens' panels—a collection of lay citizens akin to a jury but charged with deliberating on policy issues with a high technical content—are a potentially important way to conduct technology assessments, inform policy makers about public views of new technologies, and improve public understanding of and participation in technological decision making. The first citizens' panel in the United States occurred in April 1997 on the issue of "Telecommunications and the Future of Democracy." This article evaluates the impact of this citizens' panel. The standard criteria to evaluate the impact of analyses focus on the "actual impact" and on the "impact on general thinking." To these standard criteria, this article introduces the evaluation of two impacts related to learning: impact on the training of knowledgeable personnel and the interaction with lay knowledge. The impact evaluation is based on a nearly comprehensive set of semistructured telephone interviews with the participants in the panel.

Expands on the argument that science and technology policy analysis (SPTA) cannot achieve great utility for practitioners or cumulative progress for scholars, because the field lacks a critical tradition; focuses on Science, the endless frontier (STEF), a new framework for appraising the quality and impact of any work of STPA; since 1960, chiefly; US.

Principal-agent theory and research policy: an introduction
The rational choice perspective is prominent in many sociological, economic and political science literature but has been undervalued until now in the field of science studies. This special issue attempts to revalorise this perspective by introducing the principal-agent theory with relation to research policy-making. The introduction presents the basic features of the model of principal-agent and reviews the theoretical development and applications in research policy. It summarises the main findings of the articles in this issue and concludes that the studies in the framework of principal-agent demonstrate the willingness of combining theoretical rigour and 'requisite variety' by applying the theory to a large number of different fields linked to research policy-making.
