Anticipating risks has become an obsession of the early
twenty-first century. Private and public sector organisations
increasingly devote resources to risk prevention and contingency
planning to manage risk events should they occur. This 2010 book
shows how we can organise our social, organisational and regulatory
policy systems to cope better with the array of local and
transnational risks we regularly encounter. Contributors from a
range of disciplines - including finance, history, law, management,
political science, social psychology, sociology and disaster
studies - consider threats, vulnerabilities and insecurities
alongside social and organisational sources of resilience and
security. These issues are introduced and discussed through a
fascinating and diverse set of topics, including myxomatosis, the
2012 Olympic Games, gene therapy and the financial crisis. This is
an important book for academics and policy makers who wish to
understand the dilemmas generated in the anticipation and
management of risks.
