otechnological risks РWANG Qian, ZHU Qin & LI YiYun РResearch Center for Ethics and Management of Science and Technology, Dalian University of Technology, Dalian 116024, China РUncertainties about the development and application of nanotechnology make the management of its risks a crucial issue. FromРthe perspective of epistemology and methodology, we discuss certain deficiencies in the current practices regarding the man-Рagement of nanotechnological risks. By analyzing the dilemmas of managing these risks, this paper proposes that global gove-Рmance is a possible approach enabling the management of nanotechnological risks and would make progress toward the goal of Р“good governance.”Рnanotechnology, nanotechnological risks, risk management, good governance Рdoi: 10.1360/972010-1505 Р 141
