First, it develops a novel typology of actors' appreciations of analytical tools as instrumental problem-solving, legitimacy-seeking, and power-seeking. It conceptualizes the latter two as \"polity policies\" with actors seeking to confirm or rework decision-making structures. Second, the book theorizes how executive fragmentation and the multiplication of coordination requirements - often treated as hindrances to substantial analytical turns in an administration - nourish actors' ideal typical appreciations of analytical tools in distinct ways. Lastly, it scrutinizes varieties of risk analysis across three risk-heavy policy domains in Germany (including the EU) and discusses the potential of risk analysis to stabilize or transform decision-making in multi-level settings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of key interest to policy analysts and risk analysts, and scholars of European politics, comparative politics, policy studies, public administration, multi-level governance, EU studies, risk analysis, policy evaluation, and the political sociology of quantification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Regine Paul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367141477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367141479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Regine Paul","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48135985561855,"sku":"9780367141479","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b76d2bee-7c4f-44b2-8779-ed344b5e06f3.jpg?v=1770159750","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/varieties-of-risk-analysis-in-regine-paul-9780367141479","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
