À l'occasion de la session 2019 de la 4S (Society for the Social Studies of Science) Henri Boullier et Boris Hauray ont organisé un panel de 3 sessions, avec 12 interventions, autour de la question de l'influence des intérêts économiques sur la science, la politique et la régulation autour de 3 axes de recherches : (1) autour des notions et des cadres analytiques utilisés pour étudier l’influence industrielle (capture, conflit d’intérêts, biais, production de l’ignorance, hégémonie) ; (2) en étudiant les mécanismes de l’influence (stratégies de financement, portes tournantes, ghostwriting, lobbying, menaces ou représailles) ; et (3) en analysant la production de politiques qui visent à contrôler l’influence, ainsi que les mobilisations qu’elle suscite. PANEL TITLE: Corporate Influence on Science and RegulationPANEL SUMMARY: The influence of corporate interests – most notably from the cigarette, chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries – on science and on health and environmental regulation has attracted a growing media and public attention. STS research has explored this issue in different ways, for example through the analysis of the impact of industry-funding on scientific publications, the study of corporate-biases in the production regulatory standards, or more broadly by questioning the commercialization of science. Lately, considerations on the politics, and power relationships, at play in the production of scientific knowledge have been renewed by the emergence of a “new political sociology of science”. This panel wants to bring together researchers taking on board the question of corporate influence on science and public regulation, and proposes to do so by following three lines of research: (1) first, by opening up a discussion on the notions and theoretical frameworks used to analyze industry or business influence (including, but not limited to: regulatory capture, conflict of interest, bias, production of ignorance, hegemony); (2) second, by studying the social mechanisms it involves (for instance, funding strategies, revolving-door dynamics, ghostwriting, lobbying, or threats and retaliations); (3) third, by analyzing production of policies aiming at controlling corporate influence, and the social mobilizations it triggers. More generally, the panel aims at helping the development of inter-sectoral and international comparison, and consequently welcomes papers that analyze the aforementioned corporate strategies in various industrial sectors and in various geographical areas of the global North and South.  Session 1 : Corporate Influence on Science and Regulation – I Jean-Paul Gaudillière (Inserm/EHESS)"Conflicts of interest, ignorance, hegemony and the diethylstilboestrol food crisis in the United States" David J Hess (Vanderbilt)"Why Don’t We Care About Electrosmog?
