Risk is ostensibly acknowledged as a cross-discipline issue, yet risk analysis has traditionally been centred within disciplinary paradigms. Indeed, this theoretical and empirical segmentation is reflected in the composition of existing social science collections on risk. Rather than promoting information interchange and the pooling of knowledge, risk theorists have gravitated towards distinct camps, leading to something of a critical impasse. With an eye to bridging this hiatus, this collection draws upon the expertise of leading thinkers on risk from a range of disciplines. The overriding aim of the book is to coalesce currently disconnected perspectives and inquiries to drive forward debates about the impacts and effects of living in the risk society.
