This book examines the policy and politics of two health risks,
which have recently become prominent social issues in many
countries. One is the issue of asbestos as an environmental risk to
humans, and another is that of bovine spongiform encephalitis
(BSE), or mad cow disease as an animal disease, and of its variant
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) as a human food risk. Employing a
set of analytical frameworks in political science, each case study
explores how the issues emerged, agendas got set, alternatives were
chosen, and policies were implemented. Through the analysis, it is
examined how safety and public reassurance were pursued in the
countries studied (Japan, the UK, France the USA, and Korea).
Exploration of the successes and failures in their efforts
discloses the key elements to successful health risk
management.
