The pressure to harmonize these often specialized  regulatory systems is increasingly strong at the international level.  Such harmonization not only entails the assessment of particular  chemicals, but also the way assessment procedures and their boundary  with risk management is organized. As these initiatives intensify,  they increasingly raise important questions of how to integrate  national differences in the international regulatory arena. How will  national consultation procedures relate to international  decision-making on chemical risks? How will differences in national  risk assessment procedures be accommodated? How will the international  regulatory system be integrated with different national styles of  regulation and government? \u003cbr\u003e  Presenting the experiences and insights of both people from within the  worlds of risk assessment and management and from the field of Science  Studies, this book forms a state-of-the-art in the discussion on the  Politics of Chemical Risk. By offering scenarios, or sketches of a  regulatory future, it points to the choices that can be made and the  opportunities to be explored. As such, it offers an agenda for  environmental and occupational scientists, policy-makers and students  of science and technology alike.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792348917\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-9101-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 368\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312516288652,"sku":"9780792348917","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792348917.jpg?v=1771525766","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792348917","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
