Book Synopsis The Reality of Precaution by : James Hammit
Download or read book The Reality of Precaution written by James Hammit and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Precautionary Principle' has sparked the central controversy over European and U.S. risk regulation. The Reality of Precaution is the most comprehensive study to go beyond precaution as an abstract principle and test its reality in practice. This groundbreaking resource combines detailed case studies of a wide array of risks to health, safety, environment and security; a broad quantitative analysis; and cross-cutting chapters on politics, law, and perceptions. The authors rebut the rhetoric of conflicting European and American approaches to risk, and show that the reality has been the selective application of precaution to particular risks on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as a constructive exchange of policy ideas toward 'better regulation.' The book offers a new view of precaution, regulatory reform, comparative analysis, and transatlantic relations.

Book Synopsis Regulating Risks in the European Union by : Maria Weimer
Download or read book Regulating Risks in the European Union written by Maria Weimer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A growing body of EU law and regulation is preoccupied with the protection of EU citizens from health and environmental risks. Which chemicals are safe and should be allowed on the market? How should the EU respond to public health emergencies, such as Ebola and other infectious diseases? Regulatory responses to these questions confront deep uncertainty, limited knowledge and societal contestation. In a time where the use of scientific expertise in EU policy-making is particularly contested, this book offers a timely contribution to both the academic and policy debate on the role of specialised expertise in EU public decision-making on risk and technology as well as on its intertwinement with executive power. It draws on insights from law, governance, political sciences, and science and technology studies, bringing together leading scholars in this field. Contributions are drawn together by a shared theoretical perspective, namely by their use of co-production as an analytical lens to study the intricate interplay between techno-scientific expertise and EU executive power. By so doing, this collection produces highly original insights into the development of the EU administrative state, as well as into the role of regulatory science in its construction. This book will be useful to scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers working on risk regulation and the role of expertise in public decision-making.

Book Synopsis Environmental and Health Regulation in the United States and the European Union by : M. Smith
Download or read book Environmental and Health Regulation in the United States and the European Union written by M. Smith and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the first decade of the twenty-first century, the United States increasingly has relaxed its regulatory posture in the face of critical challenges to public health and the environment. This is true for regulation of recycling of end-of-life products, including autos and electronic components; potentially hazardous chemicals; and health claims on food labels. Coincidentally, the European Union has gravitated toward more restrictive regulation in these very same areas. How might we explain these diverging regulatory trajectories of the world s two largest market economies in an era of rising public awareness of dangers to the public and the planet? The explanation derives not from cultural differences in willingness to tolerate risk, but rather from distinctive regulatory tradeoffs - between environment and competitiveness in the United States and environment, competitiveness, and integration in the EU.
Book Synopsis Risk Regulation in the Internal Market by : Maria Weimer
Download or read book Risk Regulation in the Internal Market written by Maria Weimer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a topical inquiry into the legal and political limits of EU regulation in the field of risk and new technologies surrounded by techno-scientific complexity, uncertainty, and societal contestation. It uses agricultural biotechnology as a paradigmatic example to illustrate the complex intertwinement between environmental, public health, economic and social concerns in risk regulation. Weimer analyses the drawbacks of the EU approach to agricultural biotechnology showing that its reductionism, i.e. the narrow understanding of GMO risks as well as the exclusion of broader societal concerns related to environmental and social sustainability, has undermined both the legitimacy and effectiveness of EU regulation in this area. Resistance to this approach however has also triggered legal innovations prompting us to re-think EU internal market law, including the way in which it manages the tensions between unity and diversity, and between social and economic concerns. This text offers fresh and original insights into how far the EU can go in harmonizing regulatory approaches to risk. At the same time, it proposes new ways of re-thinking EU risk regulation to make it more responsive to different perspectives on risk and technology. A unique feature of this book is that it contributes to various strains of scholarship including risk regulation, internal market law, public administration, and studies of governance and regulation, as well as connecting these themes to broader debates about the legitimacy of European integration and new ways of differentiated integration. As a result it assists in re-imagining the EU internal market and its regulation as a site of diversity.
Book Synopsis EU Regulatory Decision Making and the Role of the United States by : Oliver Ziegler
Download or read book EU Regulatory Decision Making and the Role of the United States written by Oliver Ziegler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-05 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oliver Ziegler raises the question of what role economic interests of the United States play in the regulatory decision making process of the European Union. Critics often assume that U. S. dominance in the world economy, fueled by a powerful business elite, has significantly affected EU regulations at the expense of environmental and consumer protection standards. The author falsifies this proposition. He shows, first, that the EU often adopts regulations against the explicit opposition of the U. S. thereby ignoring the principles of transatlantic regulatory cooperation. Second, he demonstrates that business interests in the EU are usually not homogenous and often come second to environmental and consumer concerns. In addition, the author shows the increasing role of the European Parliament in EU regulatory decison making.
Book Synopsis Legal Risks in EU Law by : Emilia Mišćenić
Download or read book Legal Risks in EU Law written by Emilia Mišćenić and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-13 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a completely new and innovative approach to analysing the development of EU law. Within the framework of different important areas of EU law, such as the internal market, consumer protection law, social law, investment law, environment law, migration law, legal translation and terminology, it examines the Union’s approach to the regulation and management of legal risks. Over the years, the Union has come to a point where it is becoming increasingly difficult to justify its authority to regulate in various areas of law. In managing legal risks deriving from the diversity of Member States’ laws, which create barriers to trade and hinder the Union’s economy, the Union itself has actually produced new legal risks that now have to be addressed. This failure on the part of EU institutions to manage legal risks has contributed to legal uncertainty for actors operating on the internal market. This book intends to contribute to the Union’s smoother functioning and continuing development by proposing effective concrete solutions for managing the legal risks distorting the development of various areas of EU law. It pursues an innovative and effective approach to identify legal risks, their causes at the EU level and their impacts on the functioning of the Union and its Member States. By presenting new approaches in this context, the first book on legal risk management in the EU will actively promote the improvement of the EU lawmaking process and the application of EU law in practice.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Precaution by : David Vogel
Download or read book The Politics of Precaution written by David Vogel and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-29 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of Precaution examines the politics of consumer and environmental risk regulation in the United States and Europe over the last five decades, explaining why America and Europe have often regulated a wide range of similar risks differently. It finds that between 1960 and 1990, American health, safety, and environmental regulations were more stringent, risk averse, comprehensive, and innovative than those adopted in Europe. But since around 1990, the book shows, global regulatory leadership has shifted to Europe. What explains this striking reversal? David Vogel takes an in-depth, comparative look at European and American policies toward a range of consumer and environmental risks, including vehicle air pollution, ozone depletion, climate change, beef and milk hormones, genetically modified agriculture, antibiotics in animal feed, pesticides, cosmetic safety, and hazardous substances in electronic products. He traces how concerns over such risks--and pressure on political leaders to do something about them--have risen among the European public but declined among Americans. Vogel explores how policymakers in Europe have grown supportive of more stringent regulations while those in the United States have become sharply polarized along partisan lines. And as European policymakers have grown more willing to regulate risks on precautionary grounds, increasingly skeptical American policymakers have called for higher levels of scientific certainty before imposing additional regulatory controls on business.
Book Synopsis Risk Analysis and Governance in EU Policy Making and Regulation by : Bernardo Delogu
Download or read book Risk Analysis and Governance in EU Policy Making and Regulation written by Bernardo Delogu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-02 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an easy, but comprehensive and rigorous access to the main concepts, terminology, methods and procedures of risk analysis intended for all those involved in the EU policy and regulatory decision making on risks. It establishes a common ground of knowledge which enables a more informed dialogue on risks, a closer collaboration between decision makers and scientists and a better appraisal of the potential and limits of risk science. The book also brings together in an accessible way much multidisciplinary knowledge which had been dispersed over many technical documents and specialist books. The EU is in the front line of health, safety and environmental risk management. GMOs, food safety, hazardous chemicals, climate change, radiation hazards, are just a few of the popular risk issues addressed by the EU through policy and regulatory measures. The risk analysis paradigm, including risk assessment, management and communication has been at the core of the EU decision making for a long time already. EU Institutions strive for a science-based approach to risk management. Nevertheless, the dialogue and collaboration on risk issues between policy makers, stakeholders and scientists are still difficult and the potential and limits of science in support of decision making, as well as the basic concepts of risk analysis are not fully understood outside the narrow specialist circles.
Book Synopsis Financial Regulation in the EU by : Raphaël Douady
Download or read book Financial Regulation in the EU written by Raphaël Douady and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-29 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial regulation has dramatically evolved and strengthened since the crisis on both sides of the Atlantic, with enhanced international coordination through the G-20 and the Financial Stability Board and, at the regional level, a definite contribution from the European Union. However the new regulatory environment has its critics, with many divergent voices arguing that over-regulation has become a root cause of our current economic stagnation. This book provides a bigger picture view of the impact and future of financial regulation in the EU, exploring the relationship between microeconomic incentives and macroeconomic growth, regulation and financial integration, and the changes required in economic policy to further European integration. Bringing together contributions from law, economics and management science, it offers readers an accessible but rigorous understanding of the current state of play of the regulatory environment, and on the future challenges. Coverage will include: • A review of the recent regulatory changes from a legal and economic perspective • Analysis of how the economic model of financial institutions and entities is impacted by the new frameworks • How to improve securitization and new instruments under MIFID II • Issues in the enhanced supervision under delegated acts for AIFMD, CRR-CRD IV and Solvency II • How long term funding can be supplied in lieu of the non-conventional monetary policies • A new architecture for a safer and more efficient European financial system Financial Regulation in the EU provides much needed clarity on the impact of new financial regulation and the future of the economy, and will prove a must have reference for all those working in, researching and affected by these changes.
Book Synopsis A Comparative Analysis of Medical Device Regulations in the EU and the USA by : Ann-Marie Jahn
Download or read book A Comparative Analysis of Medical Device Regulations in the EU and the USA written by Ann-Marie Jahn and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Economy - Health Economics, grade: First, Berlin School of Economics and Law, language: English, abstract: Innovations in the medical device industry have improved the health of the world population with the ability to better diagnose, prevent, predict and cure illnesses. The number of medical devices on the market is increasing exponentially, together with the complexity, diversity and technical variation of such products. In light of its impact on patient health, regulation of medical devices is necessary to ensure that safe and effective products enter the marketplace, and that the product’s benefit to the patient population outweighs its potential risks. Although there has been increasing public scrutiny of health care reform, medical devices and their global regulation has been a minor field of health economic studies. This study examines the medical device regulatory systems and its impact on health care economics, exemplarily on the legislative programs of two major markets - the United States (U.S.) and European Union (EU). Modern medical device technology dates its origin to the early 19th century, but has grown most significantly in the last 50 years (Banta, p. 15). Today, 10,000 different families of medical device types exist with more than 400,000 different individual products on the market (Eucomed 2011). Outstanding developments have included heart-lung machines, artificial joints, as well as radiographic imaging and the means to perform advanced brain surgery. The medical device technology sector is extremely innovative, with seven out of ten major medical innovations in the last 40 years coming from this field (Fuchs, Sox, JR. 2001). Despite these technological advances, medical devices sometimes fail during use and can actually result in patient harm. The purpose of regulating medical equipment is to minimize the risk of harm to the end user and to prevent potentially unsafe products from entering the marketplace. The main obstacle in developing and implementing effective regulation is the term safety itself, as it can hardly be measured and there is no formula that can be consistently applied. Guidelines have been established that measure product risk, mitigate risks where possible, and then evaluate the residual risks to determine which are acceptable. This means by implication that acceptance of risk is part of the regulation process in order to bring life-saving technologies with unknown long-term effects to the market.
