Book excerpt: We live in a 'risk society' where the identification, distribution and management of risks, from new technology, environmental factors or other sources are crucial to our individual and social existence. In The Social Contours of Risk, Volumes1 and 2, two of the world's leading and most influential analysts of the social dimensions of risk bring together their most important contributions to this fundamental and wide-ranging field. Volume II centres on the analysis and management of risk in society, in international business and multinationals, and globally. The 'acceptability' of risk to an individual depends on the context, whether the larger society or in, for example, a corporate framework. Their work clarifies the structures and processes for managing risks in the private sector and the factors that produce or impede effective decisions. The authors demonstrate that corporate culture is crucial in determining risk management. They analyse the transfer of corporate risk management systems from industrial to developing countries, and how globalization is spreading and creating new kinds of risk - the combination of traditional and modern hazards presented by climate change, technology transfer and economic growth. They describe the new priorities and capacities needed to deal with these enhanced vulnerabilities around the globe.

This book was released on 2024-05-05 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a paper published by us a couple of years ago on Anthropological Economics, (the year 2020 to be precise) we had mooted the idea of trickle up economics as contrasted with the rather more popular and mundane trickle down economics. We had argued that the latter would be somewhat dubious, iffy, inconsistent and non-replicable in a wide variety of situations, particularly in the case of developing nations. We had argued that trickle up economics would actually boost wide-ranging economic growth, and add to the Gross domestic product in a big way. While we never were, and still are not big fans of socialism, we have always argued, and will continue to argue for balanced, diversified and equitable economic development models. There is a world of difference between the two. We had also argued that the economic models pursued by advanced industrial nations will not by and large, work in developing nations. Thus, American style economic conservatism is meaningless in Indian political and economic contexts. There are fundamental differences in ground realities between these two different sets of nations. It would make eminent sense for the readers of this book to read the aforesaid paper as well, as we will not be able to reproduce the contents in this paper in its entirely here; many of the proposals advocated and espoused in this paper can also be implemented by developing economies, though rather much more slowly. We focus only on the meat here............

Book excerpt: The Social Contours of RiskVolume I: Publics, Risk Communication and the Social Amplification of RiskWe live in a 'risk society' where the identification, distribution and management of risks, from new technology, environmental factors or other sources are crucial to our individual and social existence. In The Social Contours of Risk, Volumes I and II, two of the world's leading and most influential analysts of the social dimensions of risk bring together their most important contributions to this fundamental and wide-ranging field.Volume I collects their fundamental work on how risks are communicated among different publics and stakeholders, including local communities, corporations and the larger society. It analyses the problems of lack of transparency and trust, and explores how even minor effects can be amplified and distorted through media and social responses, preventing effective management. The final section investigates the difficult ethical issues raised by the unequal distribution of risk depending on factors such as wealth, location and genetic inheritance - with examples from worker and public protection, facility-siting conflicts, transporting hazardous waste and widespread impacts such as climate change.
