Abstract

This paper argues for an open, reflexive, iterative process of risk assessment, prioritization, and management. It maintains that, while quantitative risk assessments are helpful starting points, the risks of many situations cannot be understood without taking into account uncertainties in alternative risk management approaches. It also maintains that decisions on risk prioritization and management should take into account how risks will be distributed. If either uncertainty or inequity is ignored, intractable conflicts may arise which can derail the necessarily political process of assessing, prioritizing, and managing risk.
