| Abstract: | The problems of risks and governance are considered in the light of three well-known examples: The Seveso accident involving dioxin, the BSE epidemic, and the licensing of genetically modified maize. These form a natural progression, from hazards that are classical, manageable mainly by applied science, to those that are totally post-normal. The new hazards typified by genetically modified maize, but incl. many others such as untested toxic chemicals, pose serious challenges to governance. |
