Abstract

This special issue aims to develop new perspectives on the much-debated issue of risk. As the articles discuss in detail, and as thus need no comment here, the works of Beck and Giddens in particular established the broad idea of the ‘risk society’. The idea is that modern economies expose workers to increased insecurity and uncertainty.
