Humanity at Risk compares diverse approaches to the theme of global threats using the tools of philosophy, critical theory, and political thought alongside more practical, socio-political observations. By defining the idea of "global risk" more specifically, Editors Innerarity and Solana, and their contributors, believe we can understand how these risks should be evaluated, predicted, and managed within the framework of democratic societies.The goal of this book is to highlight more precisely the necessity, in the face of new global risks, for new governance at a national, European, and global level.

Industry Reviews

Humanity at Risk makes a valuable contribution to risk studies. It offers new and imaginative insights into a wide range of important topics. Written by leading experts, it will be of interest to specialists on risk and those interested in the perspectives it offers on global problems. The editors have done an excellent job in producing a comprehensive and very well edited collection of contributions. -- Gerard Delanty, Professor of Sociology, University of Sussex, Brighton, UK, and author of The Cosmopolitan Imagination: the renewal of critical theory (2009) and Formations of European Modernity: A Historical and Political Sociology of Europe (2013)
Today, as collective humanity, we find ourselves confronted by systemic risks with which no previous civilisation had to cope. This volume is an indispensable resource for understanding the nature of such risks and how we might surmount the dangers they pose. -- Anthony Giddens, Member of the House of Lords and former Director of the London School of Economics
