*Biography*:  Clark Miller's research interests focus on science, technology
& globalization, with a particular emphasis on the design and critical
analysis of knowledge systems in support of international and global
policymaking. He is also interested in the governance challenges posed by
new and emerging technologies. He has published over two dozen articles
analyzing international scientific advisory processes in global
environmental governance, addressing especially issues of climate change and
biodiversity loss. He is also the editor, with Paul Edwards, of Changing the
Atmosphere: Expert Knowledge and Environmental Governance. His current
research is a comparative analysis of the design of global knowledge systems
for promoting international security. In particular, the research focuses on

Organization, and the International Atomic Energy Agency from their creation
in the years immediately following World War II, through the Cold War, and
into the 21st century. He is also leading a new effort to explore the civil
society implications of new and emerging military technologies and
