Policy Uncertainty and Risk presents a contribution to risk
analysis and risk management in public policy and management at
large. Special emphasis is put on the utilization of scientific
knowledge by decision-makers in instances where knowledge in both
spheres of science and administration is highly uncertain and
contested. The book therefore contributes a model of
science-practitioner interaction in a policy area of strong current
relevance. The perspective is a realist constructivist one, which
means that risk and policy are taken to be socially predicated
insofar as we can choose and change the way we define and interact
with its practices. It is realist insofar as we continually use
such constructions to re-define and re-structure the world we live
in. Although essentially theory-driven and conceptually oriented,
the authors develop their argument for a new interpretation of
policy-relevant science through a number of pressing case studies.
These studies include the recent BSE/CJD crises in the UK, the
introduction of Marine Protected Areas in Sweden, and the current
practices surrounding risk management in corporate bodies. Drawing
on empirical cases and theoretical explication, the book provides a
number of suggestions as to how risk analysis and risk management
may be more properly conceived of both from a practitioner as well
as from an academic point of view.
