Precautionary Tales – Missing the Problem and its Cause
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017
Extract
Two recently published volumes on the concept of precaution as it is variously understood and applied across the United States and in Europe make for a fascinating comparative analysis. They also respectively offer some undoubted and invaluable insights into the subject. Sadly neither really addresses how precaution came of age or why.
