Abstract:Biotechnology is a typical dual-use technology. As biotechnology research and development continues to heat up, controversial events occur frequently accompanied with the increase in biosafety risk. In order to analyze the international management situation of the safety about biotechnology research and development, this paper makes a thorough analysis of the international safety problems and management situation of biotechnology research and development by means of literature research, analysis and synthesis, and comparative study. The results show that the problem of dual-use of biotechnology is becoming more and more serious. Domestic and international research has been carried out and corresponding management measures have been taken. This paper summarizes that these management measures have the characteristics of different management modes, different types of management objects, wide and narrow scope of management, strict management by licensing for special research and development activities, and special safety management organizations, in order to provide reference for the construction of safety management system of biotechnology research and development in China.
