Trust is an important factor in risk management, affecting judgements of risk and benefit, technology acceptance and other forms of cooperation. In this book the world?s leading risk researchers explore all aspects of trust as it relates to risk management and communication. Drawing on a wide variety of disciplinary approaches and empirical case studies (on topics such as mobile phone technology, well-known food accidents and crises, wetland management, smallpox vaccination, cooperative risk management of US forests and the disposal of the Brent Spar oil drilling platform), this is the most thorough and up-to-date examination of trust in all its forms and complexities.
The book integrates diverse research traditions and provides new insights into the phenomenon of trust. Factors that lead to the establishment and erosion of trust are identified. Insightful analyses are provided for researchers and students of environmental and social science and professionals engaged in risk management and communication in both public and private sectors.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xviii + 294 pages, NOT ex-library. Grubby yellow mark on one of the blank pages. Else interior in nice shape, clean and bright, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Scuffed tip of the upper outer corner of the front board. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This volume investigates the critical role of social trust in managing technological and environmental hazards. It challenges traditional models that view the public as passive recipients of expert information. Instead, the authors propose a cooperative framework, the "social trust-in-institutions model," where trust is built not on blind faith but on shared values, procedural fairness, and demonstrated competence. The work explores the psychological and sociological drivers of public perception, offering a theoretical and practical guide for how institutions can engage citizens as active partners in contentious decision-making.
