Maurer blends history, economics, political theory, and legal analysis to explain the dynamics of industry self-regulation. His wide-ranging case studies make Self-Governance in Science an engaging intellectual exploration of private alternatives to government regulation. Maurer has produced the leading analysis of a ubiquitous but underappreciated regulatory phenomenon upon which the modern market economy and regulatory state both depend.' Timothy D. Lytton, Distinguished University Professor and Professor of Law, Georgia State University College of Law, and author of Kosher: Private Regulation in the Age of Industrial Food 'Self-governance has become a trendy buzzword in many different areas, but science certainly counts among its most challenging fields of application. This book is therefore full of fascinating insights. While it refers to self-governance in science, its impact reaches much further. This book is a true must-read for anyone interested in self-governance, whether a lawyer, an economist, or a political scientist.' Florian Moslein, Philipps-Universitat Marburg, Germany 'Self-Governance in Science explains how the mechanisms of power and control operate across the fuzzy boundaries of markets, governments, and nations. Maurer's incisive analysis of expert communities in science and academia is especially timely in an era when their legitimacy is under renewed political and ideological attack.' Andrew L.
