Laws of Fear : Beyond the Precautionary Principle (The Seeley Lectures)
Editorial Reviews
Review
'Those interested in issues of fear, danger and the law will certainly find that Sunstein presents the discussion in a highly considered and motivated manner. Consequently, this book has the potential to be a contentious addition to the body of literature currently existing on the Precautionary Principle, social fear and risk perception and the regulation thereof.' Cambrian Law Review
'... highly intelligent and stimulating book ...'. Times Literary Supplement
Book Description
This book is about the complex relationship between fear, danger, and the law. Cass Sunstein argues that the precautionary principle is incoherent and potentially paralyzing, as risks exist on all sides of social situations and there is no 'general' precautionary principle as such. His insight into The Laws of Fear represents a major statement for the contemporary world from one of the most influential political and legal theorists writing today.
