Since the publication of a book entitled "Agribusiness and GMOs : Political Economy Approach" in 2002, I, the author, have received several reviews. As a whole the entire work is valued favourably especially on the ground of the historical and empirical analysis on the process of industrialisation of agricultural biotechnology. However, critical comments are made on the theoretical and methodological framework used in the book, namely a multiple approach to science & technology studies, agribusiness studies, and democratic regulation studies. Some questions are also raised about a practical perspective on if and how biotechnology can be regulated and attuned to the needs of society in a broad sense. The aim of this paper is, while replying to these reviews, to make clear the relevance of theoretical and practical viewpoints elaborated in the book and related papers and to put forward suggestions for subsequent studies on the issue, especially the significance of an interdisciplinary and transboundary approach.
