It Reviews The Three Major Approaches To Risk In Social And Cultural Theory, Devoting A Chapter To Each One.

The Second Approach Is That Of The Risk Society Perspective, Based On The Writings Of Ulrich Beck And Anthony Giddens. The Third Approach Explored Here Is That Of The Governmentality Perspective, Which Builds On Michel Foucaults Work. Other Chapters Examine In Detail The Relationship Between Concepts Of Risk And Concepts Of Selfhood And The Body, The Notion Of Otherness And How This Influences The Ways In Which People Respond To And Think About Risk, And The Pleasures Of Voluntary Risktaking, Including Discussion Of Edgework.This New Edition Examines These Themes In Relation To The Newly Emerging Threats Of The Twentyfirst Century, Such As Climate Change, Extreme Weather Events, Terrorism And Global Financial Crises. It Will Appeal To Students And Scholars Throughout The Social Sciences And Humanities.
