Abstract
This thesis examines the Monsanto Company's corporate public affairs and government relations strategies to understand current litigation on Roundup's carcinogenic effects. The research analyzes previously confidential internal company documents from The. Monsanto Company Archives and recently released federal court litigation documents known as The Monsanto Papers to trace corporate influence. This research examines Monsanto's strategy to influence scientific information, regulatory bodies, public. opinion, and the university partnerships that served as a major liability for the company in contemporary court cases. Monsanto's ghost-writing and regulatory body manipulation practices for the commercialization of biotechnology products such as Roundup serve as a vital case study for both businesses and consumers.
