Abstract

This dissertation examines the divergent development of agro-biotechnology policies in the European Union and the United States. It studies why nations differ in their approach to ago-biotechnology and how culture is the dynamic force that has shaped these policies. It argues that different organizing principles and core values have formed distinct policy cultures that play a dominant role in influencing national policymaking. As a result, policy patterns with regard to agro-biotechnology policy in the US and the EU follow cultural patterns.
