Risk, Uncertainty and Policy
Editat de Patrick Brown, Anna Olofssonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 iun 2017
Important concerns addressed within these different studies include: how risk-governance policies are shaped by risk awareness (or a lack thereof) and the mediating role of trust; the framing of policy through an emphasis on particular risks and the corresponding impact on societal beliefs, discourses and institutional power; the organisational processes which lead to some risks being tackled while others are neglected; and processes of (de-) politicising uncertainty at the interface between scientists and policy-makers. Contributors explore trans-national institutions, national bodies, and local government – within diverse geographical contexts including China, Brazil, the Baltic Sea, Australia, the UK, and Europe. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Risk Research.

Descriere
This book brings together a range of studies which together shed significant light on how policy-making shapes experiences and perceptions of risk and uncertainty and vice versa. Complex interactions between risk, uncertainty and policy are explored across a range of diverse geographical and organisational contexts. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Risk Research.
