Using a new concept - 'regulatory crisis' - this book examines how
major crises may or may not affect regulation. The authors provide
a detailed analysis of selected well-known disasters, tracing
multiple interwoven sources of influence and competing narratives
shaping crises and their impact. Their findings challenge currently
influential ideas about 'regulatory failure', 'risk society' and
the process of learning from disasters. They argue that
interpretations of and responses to disasters and crises are fluid,
socially constructed, and open to multiple influences. Official
sense-making can be too readily taken at face value. Failure to
manage risks may not be central or even necessary for a regulatory
crisis to emerge from a disaster; and the impacts for the regulator
can take on a life detached from the precipitating disaster or
crisis.
