“…Problems patently left untouched include, for example, why certain technologies have become relevant in society while others have not (cf. Barben, 2007); whether instances of technological achievement can unambiguously be attributed to a well functioning and integrated NIS as opposed to a host of other factors (cf. Teitel, 2006); and whether or not capability accumulation that is being witnessed is relatively slow or rapid in its historical context (Bell, 2006).…”

“…COP21 represents a major change in the climate regime. After COP21, the IPCC has to adapt to the pluralistic political architecture of the Paris Agreement and to become more responsive to the needs of state and nonstate actors at different levels of decision‐making (Barben, ; Devès, Lang, Bourrelier, & Valérian, ). When the IPCC was formed in 1988 it fitted neatly into the UN's multilateral order of centralized governance regime based on national representation and the search for internationally negotiated solutions (Eckersley, ).…”

In this study, we review work which seeks to understand and interpret the place of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) within the science and politics of climate change in the context of a post-Paris polycentric governance regime and the culture of "post-truth" politics. Focusing on studies of how the IPCC has sought to maintain a boundary between the scientific and the political, we offer an historical account of "boundary work" within the IPCC which is instructive for thinking, in an anticipative mode, about emerging and likely challenges to the IPCC's position as a science-policy boundary organization. We suggest that the relationships between climate science and policy are undergoing fundamental transformation in light of the Paris Agreement, and contend that the IPCC will need to be nimble and reflexive in meeting new challenges. Growing calls for more "solution-oriented" assessment question the IPCC's positioning at the sciencepolitics boundary, where it can function to put some policy options on the table, while obscuring others. Recent controversies over proposed mitigation solutions are indicative of likely future challenges. We suggest that by adopting a mode of "responsible assessment," the IPCC can continue to exercise its world-making power in a relevant and legitimate fashion.

“…Buena parte de estas discusiones sobre el diseño y la implementación de las PCTI se enmarcan en los problemas que la innovación tecnológica impone en la década de 1970, un momento histórico que además se caracteriza por otros cambios más amplios ligados a las formas de regulación de las economías capitalistas (Barben, 2007;Jamison, 2012). Salomon (2000) y Godin (2007) han confirmado que la retórica institucional sobre la ciencia y su desarrollo en los distintos sistemas nacionales y regionales está subordinada al lenguaje político que fabrican la National Science Foundation (NSF) y sobre todo la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico (OCDE) a través de los procedimientos para la selección y recogida de datos estadísticos de ciencia y tecnología y los indicadores para su medición.…”

ResumenLa política científica y tecnológica europea ha propuesto alinear mejor el proceso y los resultados de las actividades de investigación e ingeniería con los valores, las necesidades y las expectativas de la sociedad europea. No obstante, esta progresiva radicalización de la narrativa, como respuesta a las demandas de mayor responsabilidad, debe lidiar con otros discursos del presente que operan como prescripciones ideológicas y conciben la innovación como motor de la competitividad económica. Hay una tensión de base que se evidencia en la aparente paradoja del nuevo contexto social de la actividad científico-tecnológica sometida, por un lado, a una creciente demanda de modelos responsables de investigación e innovación y, por otro, instrumentalizada para resultados macroeconómicos. Nuestra estrategia de análisis sugiere rescatar esta cuestión ligada a los intereses que concurren en la generación del conocimiento, los criterios que rigen las dinámicas del régimen científico-tecnológico y los valores que orientan las políticas científicas. En la tensión de base encontramos una infinidad de elementos heterogéneos que en ocasiones se contradicen y que disputan entre sí por formas alternativas de instrumentalizar y regular las dinámicas del sistema de ciencia, tecnología e innovación. En la gobernanza de esa tensión se constituye el modelo de investigación e innovación que las políticas europeas y nacionales desarrollan como respuesta a los desafíos globales. Palabras clave: Investigación e innovación responsables; política; valores; gobernanza. The Constitution of a Responsible Research and Innovation Policy:Tensions in Implementation and Regulation AbstractEuropean scientific and technological policy recommends better aligning the process and results of activities of research and engineering with the values, needs, and expectations of European society. Nevertheless, this progressive intensification of the narrative, as a response to demands for greater responsibility, must contend with other present discourses that function as ideological prescriptions and envisage innovation as a motor for economic competitiveness. There is a basic tension that is clear in the apparent paradox of the new social context of scientific-technological activity, which, on the one hand, is subject to a growing demand for responsible models of research and innovation, and on the other hand, is implemented for macroeconomic results. Our analysis strategy is to reclaim this issue, which is closely linked to the interests that intersect in the generation of knowledge, the criteria that govern the dynamics of the scientific-technological system, and the values that guide scientific policy. Within this basic tension we find a myriad of heterogeneous elements that sometimes contradict each other and that compete amongst themselves for alternative ways to implement and regulate the dynamics of the system of science,
