Governing environmental risk, particularly large-scale
transboundary risks associated with climate change and pollution,
is one of the most pressing problems facing society . This book
focuses on a set of key questions relating to environmental
regulation: How are activities regulated in a fragmented world - a
world of nation states, regulators, domestic and international law
and political contests - and one in which a range of actors, such
as governments, corporations and NGOs act in order to influence
regulations in specific policy areas? How are complex and
trans-boundary environmental issues managed? What role does expert
knowledge play in regulating this kind of issues? What give rules
authority? In short, how do actors try to render an issue
governable? Drawing on regulation theory, discourse theory and
science and technology studies, and employing original research,
the authors analyse the regulation of four kinds of complex and
trans-boundary environmental issues: oil protection in the Baltic
Sea, mobile phones and radiation protection, climate change
adaptation and genetically modified crops. The outcomes include
insights for policymakers, regulators and researchers into how
dominant frames are constructed, legitimate actors are configured
and authority is established. This in turn exposes the conditions
for, and possibility of, developing regulation, making
authoritative rules and shaping relevant knowledge in order to
govern complex environmental risks.
