This new book views risk analysis as one important basis for
informed debate, policy decisions and governance regarding risk
issues within societies. Its twelve chapters provide
interdisciplinary insights about the fundamental issues in risk
analysis for the beginning of a new century. The chapter authors
are some of the leading researchers in the broad fields that
provide the basis for the risk analysis, including the social,
natural, medical, engineering and physical sciences. They address a
wide range of issues, including: new perspectives on uncertainty
and variability analysis, exposure analysis and the role of
precaution, environmental risk and justice, risk valuation and
citizen involvement, extreme events, the role of efficiency in risk
management, and the assessment and governance of transboundary and
global risks. The book will be used as a starting point for
discussions at the 2003 First World Congress on Risk, to be held in
Brussels.
