Risk and Uncertainty - Understanding and Dialogue in the 21st Century (Electronic book text)

This compendium is a conceptual attempt to understand the ways in which different borders and boundaries are outward manifestations of less visible dynamics in individual or collective human consciousness. The lessons drawn in this volume underline the importance of communication, honesty, and a concerned government responsive to the needs of citizens in crisis. Each of these essays is grappling with different ways in which words, theories, ideologies, and perspectives can hurt or heal, divide or unite, reconcile or destroy.
