EJRR - European Law of Risk Regulation - Single Issue

Today the most important and widespread form of EU regulation in the internal market is concerned with the government of risk to individuals’ health and safety. The European Journal of Risk Regulation provides an innovative forum for informed discussion on how these risks are regulated across policy domains in Europe. By focusing on both institutional and substantive aspects of EU risk regulation, it promotes a needed dialogue between risk assessors and risk managers involved, at both national and international level, in this contentious and continuously evolving area of law. While the central focus of the journal is the European law & Policy regulating inter alia Chemicals, Nanomaterials, Pharmaceuticals, Pesticides, Food and Feed, Cosmetics, Industrial Accidents and Public Health in general, discussion extends to other social sciences, such as regulation studies, risk analysis, safety science, political science and sociology.

EJRR strikes a balance between the interests of the practitioners, notably those increasingly engaged in regulatory drafting and advice to the industry, and a more theoretical focus, combining normative articles with timely contributions on legislative and judicial developments.

Most importantly, EJRR brings together representatives from the legal world and other risk regulation stakeholders in one specialised journal, allowing them to lay down the foundations for a new discipline: European Law of Risk Regulation.
