Knowledge Society debates - New Delhi, India

In India, as in Europe, visions of a knowledge society have brought science, technology and innovation to the forefront of politics, democracy and public life.

This is one of three Knowledge Society Debates which took place in India in January 2009. The debates included three sessions:

- Rethinking innovations: Who innovates for whom?
- Democracy or technocracy? Civic engagement in knowledge society
- Knowledge society or risk society? Uncertainty, regulation and precaution
