This volume investigates the complex intersection of international trade regulations and risk governance within the European Union, specifically focusing on how legal frameworks and social science perspectives reconcile conflicting interests. The editors, Marjolein B.A. van Asselt, Esther Versluis, and Ellen Vos, bring together a multidisciplinary team of scholars to analyze how regulatory bodies manage uncertainty in sectors like biotechnology and food safety. The book argues that risk regulation is not merely a technical exercise but a deeply political process that requires balancing economic trade objectives with societal concerns and precautionary principles.
