Description
Designed to offer an empirical counterpart to "Cultural Theory", by Michael Thompson, Richard J. Ellis and Aaron Wildavsky, this work applies the theoretical concepts of that 1990 publication to key areas in methodology, public policy and history. The contributions address issues such as risk perception, environmental regulation, and mental-health policies.
