Preface

Among the most unsettling, and paradoxical, consequences of globalization has been its effect on risks: while it has great potential to reduce the impact and likelihood of a number of risks – local and global, natural and manmade – it has also helped magnify and spread others. The increasingly complex and intertwined nature of global supply chains spanning continents and oceans has brought many benefits but also directly or indirectly contributed to a wide range of events resulting in loss of life, environmental degradation and economic hardship.
