Risk regulation in an interconnected world
http://www.irr-network.org
Our increasingly interconnected world presents new challenges and opportunities for the regulation of risks. Global trade brings product risks across borders, such as unsafe foods or toys, while it also poses competitiveness constraints on national regulatory bodies. Now globalization is facilitating the propagation of risks across borders, such as pollution, pandemics and terrorist networks.
On the other hand, increasing globalization also offers opportunities for regulators to improve their policies, through learning and borrowing of ideas across borders. Meanwhile, in a complex world, precautionary policies may reduce some risks, but could create other risks, and may spur rather than calm public anxiety.
How can countries learn from each other about the best approaches to the regulation of health, safety, security, and environmental risks? How should countries organize the oversight of their regulatory systems? What are the pressures and opportunities of engagement in global networks? -
SRA - New Ideas for Risk Regulation
June 22, 2009
The start of a new Administration opens a new chapter in U.S. regulatory policy. Early actions by President Obama, such as requesting ideas for reforming regulatory review, signal a strong interest in innovation.
The “New Ideas for Risk Regulation” conference, sponsored by the Society for Risk Analysis (SRA) and Resources for the Future (RFF), was designed to inform efforts to improve regulatory development and analysis and to foster creative thinking on these issues. It focuses on the regulation of environmental, health, safety, and security risks, and considers the national and international role of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget in regulatory review and assessment.
Panel Two
OIRA Internationally: Towards Global Cooperation
As nations work to improve the quality of their policies and legislation, there are substantial opportunities for mutual learning. This panel will explore the successes and failures of U.S., E.U., and other regulatory reform efforts, highlight opportunities to learn from other’s policy innovations, and examine options for increasing international cooperation in evaluating and improving the quality of each nation’s policies and laws. -
