Dorothy Wolfers Nelkin (July 30, 1933- May 28, 2003) was an American sociologist of science most noted for her work researching the unsettled relationship between science and society at large. Her work often drew attention to the ramifications of unchecked scientific advances and the unwariness of the public towards scientific authority. She was the author or co-author of 26 books, including Selling Science: How the Press Covers Science and Technology, The Molecular Gaze: Art in the Genetic Age, and Body Bazaar: The Market for Human Tissue in the Biotechnology Age. She was a supporter of the National Center for Science Education (NCSE), and in 1981 testified for the plaintiffs in McLean v. Arkansas. She had a broad impact in science studies, the history of science, bioethics and in the public assessment of science and technology. She was one of the founding members of the Society for the Social Studies of Science and served on governmental and other advisory boards. The Atom Besieged: Extraparliamentary Dissent in France and Germany is a 1981 book by Dorothy Nelkin and Michael Pollak. This book examines the opposition to nuclear power in France and West Germany in the 1970s, which is assessed as being broadly based and widespread. The authors argue that the basic fear which accounted for the vehemence of the opposition is that nuclear power fundamentally alters the makeup of society. "Pennsylvania is everywhere! "This was the rallying cry throughout Europe in the aftermath of the Three Mile Island accident. Certainly the fears of anti-nuclear activists for their safety and for the well-being of future generations provided emotional fuel for the demonstrations, whether fears were based on expertise and factual documentation or on instinctive reactions to the unknown. But "The Atom Besieged" argues that persistent opposition to nuclear power goes well beyond the fear of risk: it is a social movement that embodies fundamental questions about the social and political properties of nuclear technology and its effect on political life. "The Atom Besieged" shows how opposition to the proliferation of nuclear power plants goes from basic social concerns about "the effect of technological change on traditional values, the gradual industrialization of rural areas, the concentration of economic activities, the centralization of decision-making power, and the pervasive intrusion of government bureaucracies. For many critics of nuclear power the development of this technology is an important example of such problems; they talk less of nuclear energy than of a 'nuclear society.'" The authors chose France and Germany for their study of the extraparliamentary conflict over nuclear policy because these countries are comparable in terms of their economic and social development, and they are the leading producers of nuclear power in Western Europe. The governments of both countries greatly escalated their nuclear commitments after the 1973 oil crisis, with little or no political debate within the parties or parliaments. Their nuclear politics provoked a comparable mobilization of antinuclear activists. But while this social movement had virtually no policy effect in France, it imposed a moratorium on nuclear power development in Germany. The book's comparative analysis shows how the distinct political systems and cultural traditions of each nation shaped the protest movements and determined their policy effects. The book traces in detail the administrative mechanisms through which "nucleocrats" operate, suggesting how the limited role of representative institutions opened the way to extraparliamentary dissent. It describes the sources of opposition and the organizational, ideological, and tactical evolution of the movement. Finally, it traces how the two governments and their.
