| Tiivistelmä: | This article examines the BSE problem as an example of the "globalization of risk". In order to determine whether the "globalization of risk" is a social construction depending on the context, the paper emphasizes the particular role of organizations. It makes an empirical comparison of the BSE-related risk-constructions of five business associations in the German meat industry sector. The results show that the associations construct the risk in close relation to their horizons of globalization, thereby reflecting provision problems, which the companies they are representing face. |
