Special emphasis is put on the utilization of scientific  knowledge by decision-makers in instances where knowledge in both  spheres of science and administration is highly uncertain and  contested. The book therefore contributes a model of  science-practitioner interaction in a policy area of strong  current relevance. \u003cbr\u003e  The perspective is a realist constructivist one, which means that risk  and policy are taken to be socially predicated insofar as we can  choose and change the way we define and interact with its practices.  It is realist insofar as we continually use such constructions to  re-define and re-structure the world we live in. \u003cbr\u003e  Although essentially theory-driven and conceptually oriented, the  authors develop their argument for a new interpretation of  policy-relevant science through a number of pressing case studies.  These studies include the recent BSE\/CJD crises in the UK, the  introduction of Marine Protected Areas in Sweden, and the current  practices surrounding risk management in corporate bodies. \u003cbr\u003e  Drawing on empirical cases and theoretical explication, the book  provides a number of suggestions as to how risk analysis and risk  management may be more properly conceived of both from a practitioner  as well as from an academic point of view.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-12-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792372349\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-1559-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 135\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266204749964,"sku":"9780792372349","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792372349.jpg?v=1770815003","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792372349","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
