More about the book
Focusing on the evolution of risk regulation, the book analyzes the differing approaches taken by the U.S. and Europe over the past fifty years. It highlights that from 1960 to 1990, American regulations were more rigorous and innovative, but a significant shift occurred post-1990, with Europe emerging as the leader in global regulatory standards. The exploration seeks to uncover the reasons behind this notable change in regulatory dynamics between the two regions.
