Reviews
The Politics of Precaution was an engaging and well researched work which raises fascinating questions about comparative policy change. -- Natalie Beinisch LSE Politics and Policy blog Vogel has written extensively on the politics of risk regulation over the past two decades, and this monograph affords him the opportunity to update, qualify, and amend previous examinations. The result is a fruitful analysis of changes to transatlantic policy making regarding genetically engineered food, chemicals in the environment, air toxics, and consumer product safety. Choice In this engaging book, Vogel argues that extreme conservatives in the United States have brought regulatory innovation to a standstill, aided by decentralized and gridlocked U.S. political institutions... [The Politics of Precaution] should be required reading for businesspeople, officials, and citizens interested in the role of government in the modern world. -- Andrew Moravcsik Foreign Affairs Vogel's study is a very valuable and unusual contribution to the literature of regulation, raising important questions, and correlating the important question of the relationship between systems of governance and the efficacy of regulation. -- Susan J. Tolchin World Medical & Health Policy

Tolchin, World Medical & Health Policy Once again, David Vogel has given us an important book. It offers a provocative empirical phenomenon and the depth and breadth of Vogel's analysis rewards the patient and careful reader... [T]he book shows the importance of social and political factors in shaping the business environment. It's a vital text for business strategy and comparative public policy scholars and a rewarding one for nearly everyone else. --Matthew Potoski, Perspectives on Politics
