Political Theories of Risk Analysis / Nicholas P. Guehlstorf New York : John Wiley & Sons, 2004 vii,198 p. ; 24 cm p. 187 - 198 The purpose of this study is to question whether liberal political theories ought to inform the way policymakers and administrators analyze risk in proposed courses of environmental practice. In order to explore the relationship of liberal theory to rational practice in enviromental policy,this project examnes the risk analysis used to approve the genetically engineered bovine growth hormone in american agricultural policy. The book suggests that American environmental public policy is attempting to assess danger with an incomplete notion of utility, to eliminate the hazards of society with an inadequate contractual justification of political authority, and to publicy debate accepted levels of risk.
