It brings together cutting-edge research to help us understand the multiple and contested ways in which dangers have been governed. It demonstrates that the category of ‘risk’, broadly defined, provides a new means of historicising some key developments in British society. Chapters explore road safety and policing, environmental and technological dangers, and occupational health and safety. The book thus brings together practices and ideas previously treated in isolation, situating them in a common context of risk-related debates, dilemmas and difficulties. Doing so, it argues, advances our understanding of how modern British society has been governed and helps to set our risk-obsessed present in some much needed historical perspective.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 关键词 | Risk; Modern Britain; Governance; Safety; Environmental Health | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-46745-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-69133-3 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-46745-4 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
