ABSTRACT

This paper examines the problem of science-technology and citizens' participation in civil society from the life world's perspective. It discusses the Korean case of ‘science shop' as a new governance paradigm combining science-technology issues and life world. First, it looks into the necessity of communication between science-technology and civil society from a humanistic point of view, and it traces the changes of political paradigm in civil society by observing the structural transformation of governance in the current science-technology policy area. This paper mainly focuses on 'science shop' among various programs related to citizens' participation in the field of science-technology. It argues that 'science shop' will emerge as an important institutional space for policy deliberation by facilitating interactions between the government, science experts and ordinary citizens over science-technology issues
