Acceptabilité sociale : partager l’embarras

The rise of "social acceptability" as an inevitable - somewhat embarrassing - dimension in the assessment of technological projects should not be regarded as a temporary occurrence, related to occasional governance deficits. In this paper, we take it as a structural phenomenon and relate i...

description	The rise of "social acceptability" as an inevitable - somewhat embarrassing - dimension in the assessment of technological projects should not be regarded as a temporary occurrence, related to occasional governance deficits.
