Food, Risk and Politics – Randall on scare, scandal and crisis
Politics Department lecturer Ed Randall’s latest book - published by Manchester University Press - deals with the often contentious politics of food safety. The book was written to interest a broad readership and isn’t just an academic treatise on the risk politics of food safety. It makes a powerful case for a more deliberative and open risk politics.
Ed explains why food-related risks so regularly grab the headlines, often in ways that threaten reasoned debate and obstruct sensible policy making. He goes on to put the case for a properly informed and truly open debate about food safety issues – what he calls the true antidote to the politics of scare, scandal and crisis.
