In the context of increasing globalization, the articulation of new ethical dilemmas can and does inform and shape scientific public policy. These papers explore the dimensions of an "ethical anthropology" in the modern world, and the contributions of anthropology to the sciences.

Since the 1970s, anthropologists have moved into diverse workplaces, including private and public settings, that raise new issues for anthropology as a discipline as well as for the discourse on science more generally. In the context of increasing globalization, the articulation of new ethical dilemmas around such issues as technology, indigenous knowledge and rights, government regulation and bioethics among others, can and do inform and shape scientific public policy. The authors in this volume work in traditional research centres and universities, as well as in private and public sectors, and across specialties from medical anthropology and social medicine to archaeology and cyberspace. They explore the dimensions of an "ethical anthropology" in today's world, and the unique contribution of anthropology to the sciences.
