ABSTRACT
Throughout the 1990s, the governance concept as a new way of market making emerged in the discussions about complex sovereignty and technical democracy. Governance processes have generated new areas of politics where the private has become public while becoming responsible rather than accountable. The general discussion has been derived from uncertainty regarding the lack of biosafety policies in Turkey and the intervention of an international organization into this uncertainty. The Regulation 2009 was enacted at the time of its publication, before the Biosafety Law was created. In the case of biosafety governance in Turkey, it depicts how the governance process moves from a participatory type of in policy creation toward a top-down type of governance in policy implementation. The concept of the 'top-down' governance has been adopted from Fung as a concept that is defined as follows: Once the rules have been set by bargaining among interests, agencies implement these rules upon stakeholders and the general public.
