Abstract approved for special issue

2/26/2015

0 Comments

 
A proposed paper entitled: Characterizing landscapes in regional risk governance  has been accepted for inclusion in a special issue of the International Journal of Performability and Engineering.  

The topic of the special issue will be Risk Governance and Risk Communication.

In this paper we will propose a framework and procedure to characterize a regional risk governance landscape.  Our intent is to develop an analytical tool to help paint a picture that would convey valuable information to many individual decision making parties whose individual and collective interests would be furthered by coordinating decisions on a regional level.  We propose to demonstrate this framework using the example of hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas in the USA.
