This volume explores the linkage of the life sciences with policy (what the book refers to as biopolicy). It features two points of departure: the implications of the neurosciences for public policy; and the implications of evolutionary theory for policy-making. The first part of the book provides an introduction to the subject of biopolicy as well as the relevance of the brain sciences and evolutionary theory for this subject. The second part considers several case studies of how these points of departure inform our knowledge of policy. Among case studies provided here are the implications for distribution of wealth, the roots of foreign policy, violent behavior, policy decision-making, and the like. In the final analysis, this book provides examples of how the life sciences can inform public policy choices. Research in Biopolitics is the only book series that focuses specifically on the relationship between biology and politics, and provides contemporary research for practitioners, including anthropologists, sociologists, economists, biopolitical researchers, as well as students of law and political science. 7aBusiness & EconomicsxAccountingxGeneral.2bisacsh 7aBusiness & EconomicsxAccountingxManagerial.2bisacsh 7aAccounting.2bicssc 7aManagement accounting & bookkeeping.2bicssc 0aBiopolitics. 0aLife sciences.1 aSomit, Albert.1 aPeterson, Steven A.1 z9781780528205 0aResearch in biopolitics ;vv. 10.40uhttp://www.emeraldinsight.com/2042-9940/10  c222964d222964
