The "precautionary principle" is widely seen as fundamental to
successful policies for sustainability. It has been cited in
international courts and trade disputes between the USA and the EU,
and invoked in a growing range of political debates. Understanding
what it can and cannot achieve is therefore crucial.;This volume
looks back over the last century to examine the role the
"principle" played or could have played, in a range of major and
avoidable public disasters. From detailed investigation of how each
disaster unfolded, what the impacts were and what measures were
adopted, the authors draw lessons and establish criteria that could
help to minimise the health and environmental risks of future
technological, economic and policy innovations.;This is an
informative resource for all those from lawyers and policy-makers,
to researchers and students needing to understand or apply the
"principle".
