The concept of risk in global life has remained largely unexplored and misunderstood, despite its profound significance in the rapidly evolving, interconnected, and complex world we inhabit. As a fundamental element of safety systems, risk has traditionally been perceived as a relatively straightforward, predictable, and manageable phenomenon. However, social and political sciences have increasingly favored the term "security" to encompass the more intricate and consequential aspects of risk, recognizing its relevance to survival. In contemporary times, risk has taken on a more human-made and intentional nature, prompting this book to explore innovative approaches and engage in theoretical and policy debates to fully comprehend its political and security dimensions.

The concept of risk in global life has not been fully understood and explored, and this book attempts to examine what it entails in the fast-changing, interconnected, and complex world. As a foundational component of safety systems, risk has been considered relatively simple, predictable, and therefore, assessable and manageable phenomenon. Social and political sciences prefer the terminology of security to capture the dimension of risk which is more complex and more consequential to survival. Risk has become more human-made and intentional today, and this book explores innovative approaches and engages in theoretical and policy debates to capture its political and security dimensions.
