摘要：

Little attention has been given to the changing role of the state in the mediation of environmental risk. This review paper examines three interrelated themes: first, the extent to which contemporary environmental risks differ from those of the past; second, the various ways in which the rationality and legitimacy of environmental regulation have been challenged by a combination of political and economic developments; and third, the dilemmas posed by different institutional strategies for risk management. The paper argues that in order to better understand the implications of environmental risk for regulatory institutions it is necessary to develop our conception of risk beyond narrowly conceived technical, technological and micro-political discourses.
