This definitive volume of work by world-renowned risk theorist and researcher Ortwin Renn provides comprehensive coverage of all key areas of risk - assessment, evaluation, perception, management and communication - in a new framework of 'risk governance'. It addresses systemic risks, such as genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that have profound economic and social impacts. This book, for the first time, brings together and updates the groundbreaking work of renowned risk theorist and researcher Ortwin Renn, integrating the major disciplinary concepts of risk in the social, engineering and natural sciences. The book opens with the context of risk handling before flowing through the core topics of assessment, evaluation, perception, management and communication, culminating in a look at the transition from risk management to risk governance, and a glimpse at a new understanding of risk in (post)modern societies. The focus is on systemic risks, such as genetically modified organisms, with a high degree of complexity, uncertainty and ambiguity, and which have major repercussions on financial, economic, and social impact areas. This is essential, profound reading for all researchers, academics and professionals across the social science, science, medical, engineering and financial sectors.
