In the modern world, policy makers, industry and its regulators are increasingly required to take decisions in the face of unknowable or indeterminate risks. This book compares various models of risk regulation; examining national, EU and international (WTO) regulatory systems for food safety and genetically modified organisms.
"This volume provides an excellent, important, erudite and timely addition to the Law, Science and Society series edited by J. Paterson, University of Aberdeen and J. Webb, University of Warwick. Both the volume editors and many of the contributors are leading scholars in the area of regulating uncertain risks. As can be expected, they provide insightful and original additions to the literature [...] the volume is replete with rich insights and so deserves further readings, even for those relatively familiar with risk regulation. This collection and its individual chapters will no doubt be used by those seeking to get to grips with the problem of regulating uncertain risks, and the importance of citizen participation, for many years to come." -Mark Flear, Belfast, Common Market Law Review, Vol47 Issue 2,2010
