The Reality of Precaution: Comparing Risk Regulation in the United States and Europe


Product Description
The 'Precautionary Principle' has sparked the central controversy over European and U.S. risk regulation. The Reality of Precaution is the most comprehensive study to go beyond precaution as an abstract principle and test its reality in practice. This groundbreaking resource combines detailed case studies of a wide array of risks to health, safety, environment and security; a broad quantitative analysis; and cross-cutting chapters on politics, law, and perceptions. The authors rebut the rhetoric of conflicting European and American approaches to risk, and show that the reality has been the selective application of precaution to particular risks on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as a constructive exchange of policy ideas toward 'better regulation.' The book offers a new view of precaution, regulatory reform, comparative analysis, and transatlantic relations.The Reality of Precaution: Comparing Risk Regulation in the United States and Europe Review
'Challenging the ubiquitous claim that Europe has become "more precautionary" than the United States, The Reality of Precaution offers the most comprehensive assessment to date of the risk regulation standards in Europe and America over the past four decades. This is a fresh and much-needed contribution to the debate over the precautionary principle across the Atlantic and beyond.'Alberto Alemanno, Associate Professor of Law, HEC Paris, and editor of the European Journal of Risk Regulation
