By defining the idea of \"global risk\" more specifically, Editors Innerarity and Solana, and their contributors, believe we can understand how these risks should be evaluated, predicted, and managed within the framework of democratic societies.The goal of this book is to highlight more precisely the necessity, in the face of new global risks, for new governance at a national, European, and global level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHumanity at Risk \u003c\/i\u003emakes a valuable contribution to risk studies. It offers new and imaginative insights into a wide range of important topics. Written by leading experts, it will be of interest to specialists on risk and those interested in the perspectives it offers on global problems.
