联合生产是一种日益流行的知识生成、评估和决策框架。尽管联合制作有潜力开放决策和实践以听取他人的意见，但它经常达不到其变革性的雄心。通过文献分析，我们研究了联合制作的意义和动态，因为它超越了本地范围，进入了全球研究和技术空间。我们发现，在全球基因驱动的情况下，共同生产的含义以新颖的方式扩展，并以有意义的转变的新可能性为基础。与此同时，我们还确定了合作的简化框架的同时重新出现。在本文中，我们将“滑点”作为一种有用的启发式方法，帮助理解联合制作失败的原因。我们认为，如果这些新空间中的联合生产要实现其变革性雄心，就需要参与导致这种下滑的新的、根深蒂固的知识层次结构。
Co-production is an increasingly popular framework for knowledge generation, evaluation and decision making. Despite its potential to open up decisions and practices to the input of others, co-production regularly falls short of its transformative ambitions. Through documentary analysis, we investigate the meaning and dynamics of coproduction as it stretches beyond the local into global research and technology spaces. We find that in the case of global gene drive, the meaning of co-production is extended in novel ways and underpinned by new possibilities for meaningful transformation. At the same time, we also identify a simultaneous resurfacing of reductive framings of collaboration. In the paper we present 'slippage' as a useful heuristic in helping to understand why co-production fails. We argue that if co-production in these new spaces is to achieve its transformative ambitions, there is a need to engage with new and entrenched knowledge hierarchies that contribute to this slippage.
