The first summer study at IIASA brought together a cross-section of
individ uals from different disciplines and nationalities. All the
participants have had an interest in the role of risk analysis
given the institutional arrangements which guide decision making
for new technologies. This book contains edited versions of the
papers presented at the meeting as well as a transcript of the
discussions which took place. It provides the ingredients for a
broader framework fcr studying the problems associated with
technology and society where risk is representative of a much wider
set of concerns than simply the probability and consequences of a
hazardous accident. The Bundesministerium fuer Forschung und
Technologie has an interest in promoting risk and safety research
because of these new developments in society over the past ten
years. In particular, there has been a diminished confidence in
experts' statements on risk and a realization that many of the
events which are being examined are not subject to detailed
scientific analysis. There has also been an increasing recognition
that distinctions must be made between analysis of the risk
associated with an event and people's values and preferences.
Another important development is the concern by the public that
they participate more fully in the decision process on these
issues. These concerns were articulated in both the papers and the
open discussions at the summer study."
