The Politics of Animal Experimentation

Focusing on the evolution of animal research policy in Britain, this study reveals the historical secrecy surrounding animal experimentation since the 1870s. Dan Lyons employs policy network analysis to uncover the complexities of political debate and the challenges posed by the scarcity of reliable information. By examining the interplay between public discourse and regulatory frameworks, the book sheds light on the significant yet often obscured dynamics of animal experimentation and its governance.
