Plenary Lecture

Nanotechnology Reductionism and Global Sustainability


Professor Armando Barranon

Abstract: Nanotechnology Patents are concentrated in the industrial leader countries leading to a Nanodivide that will increase Regional Underdevelopment and will maintain a scarce demand of new products. Societal effects need to be taken on account to ensure the availability of nanoproducts related to welfare. Reductionist approaches to Nanotechnology ignore the possible effects of Nanotechnology products on Environment and a lack of regulation has allowed massive distribution of products that will incorporate nanoparticles in residual waters without sound studies of the interaction of these particles with the environment. Fluorocarbons have already destroyed part of the ozone layer and there is no reason why these residual nanoparticles will be harmless to biosphere. Developing countries such as Mexico are having troubles in setting up a Nanotechnology National Initiative due to low investment in technological research, few coordination of the nanotechnology networks and the tendency to concentrate all the investment in a few rich localities. Individual countries cannot compete with aggregates of countries like the European Union or the assembly of States like USA. Nowadays several regions of the world are away of the industrialization process with severe consequences for their population welfare. Therefore a comprehensive perspective is needed to attain a sustainable development of nanotechnology that incorporates more countries to the Nanotechnology Revolution expected for the following years. A cosmopolitan viewpoint is needed that ensures the access of the global population to the benefits of nanotechnology in strategic areas such as energy, health and food. Hence, the original approach to Nanotechnology considering it only in terms of size has rapidly evolved in few years into a comprehensive and sustainable standpoint that will help us to overcome the difficulties of this Technological Revolution. Nanotechnology Globalization can lead us to the development of a cosmopolitan citizenship as desired by Kant that might help is to build up a better world via this technological revolution.
