Recenzje

'Regulating Risk is an important book for everyone interested in global regulation and governance. It shows how producers use their advantage in scientific information to strategically shape the information environment of regulators - and results in policies that steer consumer purchases to high profit areas. This is good for producers, bad for consumers and developing countries, and poses a real dilemma for both national and international regulation.' Duncan Snidal, Nuffield College, Oxford
