  15. The Politics of the 3rd Wave Collins, Harry, Weinel, Martin and Evans, Robert, 2010. `The Politics and Policy of the Third Wave: New Technologies and Society’ Critical Policy Studies, 4, 2, 185-201) Combat technological populism and, it turns out, all forms of populism Not anti-democratic but, perhaps, Rawlsian democracy (Durant 2010) Choose scientific values as central to society as they are a subset of democratic values (neo-Mertonian):`Elective Modernism’

  16. Some crucial features • Science is a distinct form of life with characteristic features linked by family resemblance • Distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic politics • `Political phase’ has priority over but must not distort or subvert `technical phase’, only publicly over-ride • Expertise is real and social scientists are experts on expertise

  17. Credo 3-Wave is neither anti-democratic nor technocratic `Democracy cannot dominate every domain – that would destroy expertise – and expertise cannot dominate every domain – that would destroy democracy.’

  18. Real time analysis Thabo Mbeki’s AIDS policy: It may have been politically motivated But Mbeki said it was a scientific question, distorting the technical phase and disempowering the political process SEE could show, in real time, how Mbeki’s expertise was inappropriate to the making of a scientific decision

  19. Anti-populism 1 Criminal justice and deterrence Problem of populism: In the UK politicians appealing to popular opinion in respect of the deterrent effect of capital punishment would immediately reintroduce it In the more democratically responsive USA this has happened Same for punishment of criminals of all sorts: retain expert role for criminologists

  20. Anti-populism 2 Popular intervention in education policy Student feedback/ parent choice? Teaching of creationism/intelligent design? Retain expert role for academics/teachers?
