Contemporary law and government are increasingly characterized by a
focus on risk. Fields such as health, psychiatry, criminal justice,
vehicle safety, urban design and environmental governance all
provide examples of settings in which problems are dealt with as
risks. While risk has become more prominent, there have also been
changes in the nature of risk techniques deployed. Whereas welfare
states provided many services through socialized risk - such as
social insurances covering health, employment and old age -
increasing emphasis is now placed on individual risk management
arrangements such as private insurance. In this environment, the
positive side of risk has also been made more salient. Enterprise,
innovation and risk-taking have become qualities valued, or even
required, of current governance. In this volume, the most
influential examinations and interpretations of this major trend
have been brought together, in order to make clear the range and
diversity, the spread and penetration of risk in contemporary
societies.
