| Abstract |
: This paper is to discuss about governments’ responses to the epidemic of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in South Korea between 2010 and 2011. The epidemics of FMD caused catastrophic confusion amongst central and local governments. Big debates on issues of the origin of the FMD pathogen and the way of controlling disease. Many researchers tried to analyse the incident on the basis of an assumption that there was political confrontations between Korean government and civil society for the decision making and implementation of policy. However, the dichotomic perspective on the incident cannot provide sufficient explanation of the dynamic process of governments’ responses and policy making. This paper analyses how the central and local governments understand and control the disease differently by using the frames of muliplicity of disease and politics of technoscience. In particular, the paper is focusing on the way of representing and performing disease in white papers which are published by various cental/local governments at the time.
Key words: Foot-and-Mouth Disease, Pathogen, Precautionary culling, Vaccine, Multiplicity, Politics of technoscience
