Abstract/Resumo
In recent years, increasing criticism has been levelled against case study based research on public
engagement and participation in science and technology (PEST). Most critics argue that such
case studies are highly contextual and fail to provide global, holistic and systemic views of public
engagement phenomena. In this study, we mapped the case study literature on PEST by identifying a
robust sample of articles, and analysed it looking for emerging patterns that could provide empirical
evidence for new frameworks of public engagement design and analysis. Results show that the case
study based literature on PEST continues to grow, although concentrated in a few countries and
knowledge domains. The trends that emerged from the sample reveal high centralisation and planning
and suggest that deficit science communication models are still common. We argue that future
frameworks may focus on decentralising hierarchical power and dependency relationships between
agents.
