This book evaluates and compares risk regulation and safety
management for offshore oil and gas operations in the United
States, United Kingdom, Norway, and Australia. It provides an
interdisciplinary approach with legal, technological, and
sociological perspectives on their efforts to assess and prevent
major accidents and improve safety performance offshore. Presented
in three parts, the volume begins with a review of the technical,
legal, behavioral, and sociological factors involved in designing,
implementing, and enforcing a regulatory regime for industrial
safety. It then evaluates the four regulatory regimes that
encompass the cultural, legal, and other contextual factors that
influence their design and implementation, along with their
reliance on industrial expertise and standards and the use of
performance indicators. The final section presents an assessment of
the resilience of the Norwegian regime and its capacity to keep
pace with new technologies and emerging risks, respond to near miss
incidents, encourage safety culture, incorporate vested rights of
labor, and perform inspection and self-audit functions. This book
is highly relevant for those in government, business, academia, and
elsewhere in civil society who are involved in offshore safety
issues, including regulatory authorities and industrial safety
professionals.

This book addresses the issues and methods involved in governing
risks posed by genetically modified (GM) agriculture. It examines
the evolution of policies intended to ensure the safety of GM crops
and food products in the United States and Europe and the
regulatory approaches and other social controls employed to protect
human health, the environment, conventional farming and foods, and
the interests and rights of consumers. Discussion encompasses the
cultural, political, and economic forces that shape the design and
application of the methods of risk governance, as well as other
contextual features such as the influence of multinational
companies seeking acceptance of their GM ventures. This discussion
also examines the influence of the dynamic public discourse
fostered by progressive concepts of risk governance and the
approaches taken to meet its demands for transparency, public
participation, and appropriate consideration of public perceptions
and values despite conflicting views of experts.
