Between Science and Democracy,
The Nature, Communication, and Education of Science
Ying-Kai Liao (National Taiwan Normal University), Sinead Hsi-Yi Chen (Science Media Center Taiwan),Taiwan
This article first sets the background of the development of the democratization of science. Then, by means of an analysis of a referendum issue in Taiwan between 2020 and 2021, we pointed out that democratic “participation” in socio-scientific issues (SSI) decision making is indeed very complex. The last section proposes possible directions for improvement in the governance system, science communication and science education. [ Read more. ]
