Abstract
This paper attempts to examine and analyze the correlation between the regulatory systems and approach structures of advanced science and technology management and chemicals management. Specifically, by using biotechnology (genetic modification technology) as a case study, a comparative study of the EU, the US, and Japan was conducted, focusing on legal precautionary measures regarding the risk of scientific uncertainty in the fields of advanced science and technology and chemicals. As a result, it was found that there is a certain correlation between the regulatory regimes and approach structures of the two fields. Although there are previous studies in each field, there is a scarcity of studies that focus on the correlation between the boundaries of the two fields of advanced science and technology and chemicals. This study provides a first step toward the field of a precautionary risk policy associated with uncertainty and a science and technology policy in the future.
