This is a PPT presentation [as pdf] I gave at University of Notre Dame just a few weeks ago.  It contains a fairly detailed exposition of the vision of anticipatory governance that motivates work at the NSF-funded Center for Nanotechnology in Society at ASU.  It contains descriptions of the nature of "anticipation" and "governance" in the concept, and the capacities of anticipatory governance including foresight, engagement with publics, and integration of natural science and engineering with social science and humanities.
