Uncertain Risks Regulated compares various models of risk
regulation in order to understand how these systems shape the
relationship between law and science, and how they attempt to
overcome public distrust in science-based decision-making. The book
contributes to the ongoing debate relating to uncertainty and risks
- and the difficulties faced by the European Union in particular -
in regulating theses issues, taking account of both national and
international constraints. The term 'uncertain risk' is comparable
with notions of hazard and indeterminate risk, as deployed within
the social sciences; but it also aims to capture the modern
regulatory reality that a non-quantifiable hazard must still be
addressed by society, law and its regulators. Decisions must be
taken in the face of uncertainty. And, whilst it is not possible to
provide clear cut models of risk regulation, in focusing on
regulatory practices at a national, EU and international level, the
contributors to this volume aim to use fact finding as a core
instrument of learning for risk regulation.
The trade conflicts that the EU has faced within the EU or WTO
context demonstrate that the question of how to balance trade and
other societal values in situations of uncertainty has not been
solved by the regulatory model evolved by the EU in the aftermath
of the BSE crisis - one which privileges processes of
depoliticisation and scientification. This book addresses the
current key dilemmas around science, law and the regulation of
trade, both on a regime level and in the context of particular
industrial sectors, e.g pharmaceuticals, climate change and
nanotechnology. It will present possible future research avenues by
looking at both theory and practice and learning from various
disciplines (law and social sciences), legal realities (WTO, USA
and EU) and actors (regulators, stakeholders, courts).

An original and innovative recasting of constitutionalism, written
by acknowledged experts in the field, this empirically grounded and
theoretically informed volume addresses the strategies and
philosophies that judges and lawyers bring to bear when creating
European constitutional jurisprudence; investigating and promoting
promotes the sustainability of a theory or praxis of 'procedural'
constitutionalism. Building upon European and American critical
legal scholarship, Michelle Everson and Julia Eisner argue that
constitutional adjudication has never been the neutral matter of a
mere judicial 'identification' of the values, norms and procedures
that each society seeks to concretise in its own body of
constitutional law. Instead, a 'mythology' of comprehensive
national constitutional settlement has obscured the primary legal
constitutional conundrum that is created by the requirement that a
judiciary must always adapt its constitutional jurisprudence to the
evolving values that are to be found within any society; but must
always, also, maintain the integrity and autonomy of the law
itself. European judges and lawyers, having been denied recourse to
all forms of constitutional mythology, provide us with an
alternative model of constitutionalism; one that does not require a
founding myth of constitutional settlement, and one which both
secures the autonomy of law, as well as ensures dialogue between
law and society. This occurs, however, not through grand theories
of 'constitutional adjudication' but, as The Making of a European
Constitution documents, rather through a practical process.
