Reviews

* 'A thought provoking and invaluable book for anyone who cares about risk communication and management in the 21st century' Anna Jung, Director General, European Food Information Council * 'Regulatory inaction against real risks can undermine public trust. However exaggerated responses to risks can also jeopardize regulators' credibility. Lofstedt provides guidance for how regulators can navigate these and other frequently competing concerns' W. Kip Viscusi, Cogan Professor of Law and Economics, Harvard * 'Lofstedt has once again produced a most interesting book on risk management and trust' Mikael Kalrsson, President Swedish Society for Nature Conservation
