Abstract
A new style of politics and policy-making is emerging in the ‘new economy’ era in India, and in Bangalore, Karnataka in particular. This is dominated by a science-business elite who present a particular vision of the future to the exclusion of others. This paper tells the story of the making of the Karnataka Millennium Biotechnology Policy, asking what policy-making means in practice, who are the policy-makers and what are the technical, political and bureaucratic processes underlying policy-making? By examining the contested politics of biotechnology, the paper examines the limits to such elite-driven, technocratic approaches in the democratic context of India, pointing to the need for more inclusive and accountable policy processes in the future.
