Cross-Cultural Risk Perception demonstrates the richness and wealth of theoretical insights and practical information that risk perception studies can offer to policy makers, risk experts, and interested parties. The book begins with an extended introduction summarizing the state of the art in risk perception research and core issues of cross-cultural comparisons. The main body of the book consists of four cross-cultural studies on public attitudes towards risk in different countries, including the United States, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Sweden, Bulgaria, Romania, Japan, and China. The last chapter critically discusses the main findings from these studies and proposes a framework for understanding and investigating cross-cultural risk perception. Finally, implications for communication, regulation and management are outlined. The two editors, sociologist Ortwin Renn (Center of Technology Assessment, Germany) and psychologist Bernd Rohrmann (University of Melbourne, Australia), have been engaged in risk research for the last three decades. They both have written extensively on this subject and provided new empirical and theoretical insights into the growing body of international risk perception research.

Das vorliegende Buch ist in den Jahren 1988-1990 im Rahmen der Programm gruppe "Mensch-Umwelt-Technik" des Forschungszentrums Julich entstanden. Diese sozialwissenschaftlich orientierte Gruppe befasst sich seit 1988 mit der Analyse der Bedingungen, Probleme und Moeglichkeiten der Kommunikation uber technikbedingte Risiken. Angesichts des vielfaltigen Gebrauchs und der oft unklaren Konturen des Risiko-Begriffes in der wissenschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Risiko-Debatte stellte sich die Gruppe die Aufgabe, die Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede der Risiko-Kommunikation in verschiedenen, kontrovers diskutierten Technikberei chen zu untersuchen. Dazu wurden Experten in den Bereichen Gentechnik, Chemie, Kerntechnik, Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik sowie im Be reich der Klimaforschung beauftragt, das Problem der Risiko-Kommunikation in ihrem jeweiligen Bereich in einer Expertise aufzuarbeiten und zusammenfassend darzustellen. Diese Expertisen wurden in der Programmgruppe MUT ausfuhrlich diskutiert und einem systematischen Vergleich unterzogen. Das vorliegende Buch prasentiert die Ergebnisse; zum einen die funf Expertisen selbst, zum anderen drei vergleichende Analysen zu Themen, Akteuren und Stra tegien der Risiko-Kommunikation. Wir hoffen, dass das Buch selbst einen Beitrag zur Verbesserung der wissenschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Kommunikation uber Risiken leistet. Wir danken den Autoren der Expertisen fur ihre Geduld und ihre Kooperation sowie Herrn Hans Ulrich Stegelmann und Frau Waltraud Freier-Linder fur die Bearbeitung des Manuskripts.
