Natural and man-made risks have long been recognised as vital
conditioning factors in the formation of social institutions and
the conduct of social life. In this volume internationally
recognised experts examine in detail the implications in practice
of the modern concept of risk in particular legal fields. The
chapters explore the ways in which the law in its many branches can
accommodate, manage and reduce the extent of risk in the modern
"Risk Society", matters of pressing importance for the development
of all branches of law in all jurisdictions. The fields of activity
affected by the issues discussed include law, medicine, insurance,
state security and public health. The collection also contributes
to comparative legal studies in respect of risk and the law,
presenting a perspective which has largely been neglected outside
the works of general theory. Thus the topics considered range from
the civil law of injuries in Germany and the food law of the
European Union, through sales of goods, including international
sales, in English, German and French law, to the English law of
torts. Risk and the Law, written by specialists who are authorities
in their fields, will be of interest to academics and students who
are interested in new developments and ideas regarding the
relationship between risk, law and social change in many different
fields.
