DESCRIPTION:
All the participants have had an interest in the role of risk analysis given the institutional arrangements which guide decision making for new technologies. The Bundesministerium fuer Forschung und Technologie has an interest in promoting risk and safety research because of these new developments in society over the past ten years. In particular, there has been a diminished confidence in experts' statements on risk and a realization that many of the events which are being examined are not subject to detailed scientific analysis. There has also been an increasing recognition that distinctions must be made between analysis of the risk associated with an event and people's values and preferences. These concerns were articulated in both the papers and the open discussions at the summer study.. This book contains edited versions
