Abstract

As the European Union is increasingly emerging as de facto global regulator of all kinds of rules concerning the environment, human health, and safety, risk regulation is becoming a new lens through which to analyse the European integration process. Indeed, today the most important and widespread form of EU regulation in the internal market is concerned with the government of risk to individuals' health and safety. The European Journal of Risk Regulation (EJRR) is a new international journal that provides an innovative forum for informed and scholarly discussion on how these risks are regulated across policy domains in Europe and beyond. The EJRR understands itself as a truly multi-disciplinary journal. While the central focus of the journal is the European law regulating inter alia Chemicals (REACH), Nanomaterials, Pharmaceuticals, Food and Feed, Cosmetics & Medical Devices, Pollution, Climate Change, Industrial Accidents and Public Health, discussion extends to other social sciences, such as economics, regulation studies, political science, risk analysis, safety science and sociology.
