Summary:

Since the mid-1990s risk management has expanded its reach and significance to become a benchmark of good governance for many public and private organisations. This book shows that the rise of risk management has much less to do with real dangers and opportunities than with organisational accountability and legitimacy.

Contents:

Organized uncertainty : an introduction

Turning organizations inside out : the rise of internal control

Standardizing risk management : making up processes and people

Putting categories to work : the invention of operational risk

Governing reputations : the outside comes in

Designing a world of risk management.
