More About This Textbook
Overview
Across a broad range of disciplines—in medicine, social science, and the humanities—researchers, scholars, teachers, and administrators increasingly are looking for new ways to approach ethical issues in research with human subjects. Questions about how relationships between funders and researchers should affect research design, for example, or whether the potential benefits of research can outweigh the importance of its subjects' interests are inadequately addressed by the prevailing, regulation-based research ethics paradigm.
This book constitutes a reexamination of research ethics. It combines case studies and commentaries by a multidisciplinary group of scholars and researchers to explore such topics as informed consent, conflict of interest, confidentiality, and research on illegal behavior. All human subjects research takes place within complex social, cultural, and political contexts, the contributors argue. Increased consideration of the relationships between researchers and their subjects, funders, and institutions within these contexts will facilitate research that is sensitive and responsible as well as scientifically fruitful.
Beyond Regulations features a keynote essay by Ruth Macklin. Other contributors are Marcela Aracena Alvarez, Jorge Balán, B. Susan Bauer, Alan F. Benjamin, Lynn Blanchard, Allan M. Brandt, J. Pat Browder, Barbara Entwisle, Sue E. Estroff, Renée C. Fox, Lara Freidenfelds, Gail E. Henderson, Nancy M. P. King, Loretta M. Kopelman, Ernest N. Kraybill, Barry M. Popkin, Silvina Ramos, Desmond K. Runyan, Jane Stein, Ronald P. Strauss, Keith A. Wailoo, and Cynthia Waszak.
The book contains black-and-white illustrations.

Clearly illustrates the importance of a relationship-based perspective to research ethics as a necessary complement to the principalist paradigm.

Booknews
Begins a series exploring how medicine shapes and is shaped by social forces, using broader strokes than the well-established specialties of social sciences that address medicine. The six case studies do more than apply accepted theory to specific situations, but contribute to ethical theory in general. The material was prepared for the November 1995 conference From Reg's to Relationships: Reexamining Research Ethics held in Chapel Hill where the editors and many of the authors are affiliated with the University of North Carolina.
