Research as Development situates these two trials within their historical, political and cultural contexts and thus counters the idea that local actors are merely passive recipients of new technical and scientific rationalities. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile social studies of clinical trials are beginning to be an established niche in academic writing, \u003ci\u003eResearch as Development\u003c\/i\u003e helps fill important gaps in the literature through its examination of clinical research situated in cultures in low-income settings. \u003ci\u003eResearch as Development\u003c\/i\u003e is noteworthy for the way it highlights the critical and creative role that local researchers play in establishing international collaborations and making them work into locally viable forms. The volume shows how these clinical and research interactions bring about changes in culture, technologies and expertise in Sri Lanka, contexts that have not previously been written about in any detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52739657269528,"sku":"9781501733604","price":34.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/research-as-development-biomedical-research-ethics-and-collaboration-in-sri-lanka-hardback-9781501733604","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
