The Politics of Precaution: Regulating Health, Safety and Environmental Risks in Europe and the United States

Together with the Centre for Corporate Reputation at the Said Business School, the Smith School welcomed David Vogel (Professor, Haas School of Business and Department of Political Science, University of California, Berkeley) to Oxford.

Based on his book, of the same name, David Vogel’s presentation examined the trends in the politics of consumer and environmental risk regulation in the United States and Europe over the last five decades, explaining why America and Europe have often regulated a wide range of similar risks differently.
