Accidents and the State – Understanding Risks in the 20th Century Paperback / softback
by Anne Rasmussen, Birgit Metzger, Peter Itzen
Part of the Histoire series
Paperback / softback
Description
The beginning of the 20th century saw a reinterpretation of the concept of the accident.
While accidents had traditionally been considered as inevitable, modern societies debated about their management and prevention.
The emergence of the modern state led to an unprecedented capability to deal with accidents.
The state formed institutions, practices and legal concepts that considerably changed everyday life.
The contributions in this volume explore social, cultural, political, administrative and medical responses to accidents in modern states.
The case studies include British, French, German, Italian, Chinese and Chilean experiences and thus provide different national perspectives on the governance of risks.
