Answering this question requires examination of  a broad mosaic of academic issues, including current systems available  for providing compensation and deterrence, use of contracts (including  insurance) as substitutes for tort law, limitations of regulatory  policy-making by government agencies, pre-conditions for creation of  insurance products, and market mechanisms necessary for insurance to  be purchased or sold. The purpose of \u003cem\u003eManaging Environmental Risk\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eThrough Insurance\u003c\/em\u003e is to highlight the potential role that  insurance and performance standards can play in managing environmental  risk. Insurance can play a significant role in dealing with one of the  most problematic issues facing society today - how to  compensate for environmental exposures. \u003cbr\u003e  This book analyzes the ability of insurance to play a role in managing  environmental risk. It begins by outlining the role insurance plays in  society in contrast to other societal tools for addressing risk:  government benefit programs and imposition of involuntary liability  using the court system. By so doing, the book describes the  comparative advantages of insurance. The book then analyzes the  insurability of the risks. Finally, the book applies the insurability  analysis to three concrete environmental examples.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1997-06-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792399018\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5360-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 107\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47380079411340,"sku":"9780792399018","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792399018.jpg?v=1775734856","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792399018","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
