The Politics of Animal Experimentation

The Politics of Animal Experimentation

by Dan Lyons (Author), Dan Lyons (Author)

Synopsis

The reality of animal experimentation and its regulation in Britain have been hidden behind a curtain of secrecy since its emergence as a political controversy in the 1870s. Public debate and political science alike have been severely hampered by a profound lack of reliable information about the practice. In this remarkable study, Dan Lyons advances and applies policy network analysis to investigate the evolution of British animal research policy-making.
