We apply the logical of comparative institutional analysis to the question of the governance of the relationship between private investors and the government. We consider two strategies that investors may follow: lobbying for the creation of a specialized political governance structure or the reliance on more general political mechanisms to influence policy in that sector on an ongoing basis. W...
Biotechnology, especially the development of genetically modified crops, offers many potential economic, nutritional and environmental benefits, but equally many potential hazards and risks. Approval procedures for the release of genetically modified organisms are established under the Gene Technology Act 2000 (Cth). This article examines the methodology used to identify potential molecular ris...
The vulnerability framework of the Research and Assessment Systems for Sustainability Program explicitly recognizes the coupled human-environment system and accounts for interactions in the coupling affecting the system's responses to hazards and its vulnerability. This paper illustrates the usefulness of the vulnerability framework through three case studies: the tropical southern Yucatán, the...
Natural hazards are extreme natural phenomena whose associated consequences can lead to damage of both the and man-made environment [...]
When people encounter potential hazards, their expectations and behaviours can be shaped by a variety of factors including other people's expressions of verbal likelihood (e.g., unlikely to harm). What is the impact of such expressions when a person also has numeric likelihood estimates from the same source(s)? Two studies used a new task involving an abstract virtual environment in which peopl...
Reactive chemical hazards have been a significant concern for the chemical process industries (CPI). Without sufficient control and mitigation of chemical reaction hazards, reactive incidents have led to severe consequences, such as release of flammable and toxic materials, fires and explosions, and threats to human lives, properties, and the environment. Consequence of reactive hazards can be ...
The Klang Valley Region is the most urbanized region of Malaysia. As such the region has experienced much increased in the intensity and frequency of environmental hazards affecting the major environmental subsystems. Deterioration of environmental parameters could be observed within the air, water, land and biological components of the environment. Deterioration of environmental quality is clo...
Fires involving materials being stored or processed in bulk can have severe impacts on the local communities and the environment. It is important that site managers at municipal recycling facilities (MRFs) are aware of all the potential fire hazards that exist on their sites in order for them to produce a comprehensive fire safety plan and an effective risk assessment. This article is intended ...
The paper presents an analysis of the effect of magnetic fields of power frequency generated by heavy-current electric equipment on the environment. The results of computation and measurements of the magnetic field in the vicinity of power busducts are included. Possible hazards are considered that result from the effects of the magnetic field on workers present in the vicinity of busducts as w...
This paper examines the joint impact of firmand country-level factors on the international plant location decisions of semiconductor firms from 1994–2002. We find that these factors interact to influence the location decisions of firms investing abroad in a given host country. Firms with more advanced technological capabilities are more likely to make investments in countries with greater techn...
