ABSTRACT
The framework covered in the previous two chapters, concerning the areas of risk framing (pre-assessment), appraisal (including risk assessment as well as the assessment of risk-related concerns and the non-physical secondary implications of risk), characterization/evaluation, management and communication, concludes our analysis of the classic components of handling risks. Looking at organizational capacity opens a new set of wider risk governance issues which relate to the interplay between the governing actors and their capability to fulfil their role in the risk governance process.
