Policy-making has always involved uncertainty; however the presence of unknowns has become far more conspicuous and problematic in recent times. One important way in which policy-makers have increasingly sought to deal with such uncertainty is through approaches rooted in understandings of risk. This book comprises a rather diverse collection of six chapters, alongside one more explicitly theoretical introduction, each taking up a distinct perspective in scrutinising the relationship between policy, risk and uncertainty.
Important concerns addressed within these different studies include: how risk-governance policies are shaped by risk awareness (or a lack thereof) and the mediating role of trust; the framing of policy through an emphasis on particular risks and the corresponding impact on societal beliefs, discourses and institutional power; the organisational processes which lead to some risks being tackled while others are neglected; and processes of (de-) politicising uncertainty at the interface between scientists and policy-makers. Contributors explore trans-national institutions, national bodies, and local government – within diverse geographical contexts including China, Brazil, the Baltic Sea, Australia, the UK, and Europe. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Risk Research.

This book brings feminist theories and concepts to the sociology of risk in an attempt to carve out a framework for intersectional risk theories in times of ambivalence.
The authors purport that risk is pervasive in the Global North, and is fast becoming a hegemonic governing principle. In order to understand this crucial aspect of society, sociological risk theories and risk analysis must go beyond power and social inequalities, to incorporate an intersectional risk approach that takes into account gender, race and other critical perspectives. Their proposed framework will provide the tools to assess how risk is situated in different configurations of power, revealing cracks and openings in the weft of power and rethinking risk governance in contemporary society.
By utilising an intersectional and nuanced analysis, the everyday understanding, practices and discourses of risk can be explored and better understood. This book will be of interest to scholars and students who value the importance of establishing interdisciplinary networks between risk theory, sociology, politics and more in order to study the contemporary world.

Understanding and managing risk and uncertainty is a central task in contemporary societies characterised by rapid social, technological and environmental change. This book presents research approaches used by scholars who all share a passion to gain new insights in how individuals, organisations and societies approach uncertain futures and their potential dangers. The contributions illustrate the usefulness of particular methods and methodologies for researching risk in order to advance the understanding and management of social, technological and environmental challenges. With research strategies and approaches from sociology, psychology, history, linguistics, anthropology, and gender studies, Researching Risk and Uncertainty provides guidance and inspiration to students and scholars across a range of disciplines interested in risk, disaster and social crisis.

Utdrag ur boken:
Nästa morgon väcks mamman och pappan av att barnen kommer inspringande i sovrummet. Barnen hoppar upp och ner och ropar i munnen på varandra: -Kom och titta! kom och titta, fort! - Schhhh! viskar Erik. Jag tror det är någon i hallen. Alla fyra tittar långsamt och försiktigt fram genom dörröppningen in mot hallen. På spiken hänger en liten, liten grå jacka och en liten luva. Bredvid på golvet står en liten säck och en liten lykta.Familjen står som förstelnade en stund tills mamman tar mod till sig och går fram. I Jackans ficka finns ett ihoprullat papper nedstucket. Det är ett brev, hon börjar läsa……….

Författarna Susanne Steenhouwer och Petra Rosenkvist Steenhouwer har en familjerelation som mor och dotter, från att Petra var två år har det i familjen skapats i olika former, allt ifrån att måla och rita till att skapa sagor och berättelser. Åren gick och sagorna fick snart åhörare i de tre småsyskonen.
Vid juletid för drygt 25 år sedan ville Susanne pröva något annorlunda på julen hemma. Far i huset ville gärna slippa klä ut sig som tomte. Då skapades traditionen med Tomtenilsen, den lilla spiken, den lilla jackan och de små skorna.
