本文以2001 - 2003年日本食品安全治理改革为例，考察了科学与信任的关系。本文解释了2001年第一头疯牛病阳性奶牛的发现和随之而来的食品安全丑闻是如何将科学在保护食品供应安全方面的作用政治化的。对议会辩论的分析侧重于立法者和其他参与者对风险科学三个维度的认识，包括“知识”，“对象”和“受益者”。“七武士”的比喻和“武士”，“土匪”和“受益者”的关系定位的角色被用来表明，在政策制定过程中，对一个新的专家机构的某些道德和伦理的期望forfood safety有争议和谈判框架的责任和社会行为者的承诺，建立基于信任的食品系统。
Using the case of food safety governance reform in Japan between 2001 and 2003, this paper examines the relationship between science and trust. The paper explains how the discovery of the first BSE positive cow and consequent food safety scandals in 2001 politicized the role of science in protecting the safety of the food supply. The analysis of the Parliamentary debate focuses on the contestation among legislators and other participants over three dimensions of risk science, including “knowledge,” “objects,” and “beneficiaries.” The metaphor of “seven samurai” and the relationally situated roles of “samurai,” “bandits,” and “beneficiaries” are used to show that in the process of policy making certain moral and ethical expectations on a new expert institutionforfood safety were contested and negotiated to frame responsibilities and commitments of social actors for creating the food system based on trust.
