In this book, Jasanoff investigates what states do in pratices when they claim to be reasoning in the public interest. Public reason, from her perspective, comprises the institutional practices, discourses, techniques and instruments through which governments claim legitimacy in an era of potentially unbounded risks. Jasanoff's in-depth qualitative studies of legal and political practices shed light on divergent cross-cultural constructions of public reason and the reasoning political subject.
The book contributes politics, geography, ethnigraphies of modernity, and STS.
