The national political psyche and the public were recently focused upon this topic through the Government�s instigation of the Royal Commission on Genetic Modification, the first of its kind in the world, which reported in July 2001. This Report and the subsequent policy decisions by the current Government illustrate that a number of issues and concerns remain with regard to genetic modification, and biotechnology more broadly defined. Clearly, further decisions and politics will unfold, and these will be more evident as the nation moves towards another general election in 2002. At the same time, the international dimensions of biotechnology and genetic modification change daily, and this (in turn) affects Aotearoa New Zealand.</span></font></div> <div align="left"><br> </div> <div align="left"><font face="Arial" size=3><span style="font-size:11pt">In order to record current views and to continue the discussion and debate concerning biotechnology, the <i>Women�s Studies Journal </i>invites manuscripts that address the diverse topics and issues associated with biotechnology from a feminist perspective.
