Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Risk once belonged to generals and insurers; today, it is a language of world politics. This book unpacks how governments, think tanks, and private analysts attempt to measure the unmeasurable-conflict, collapse, and uncertainty itself. Exploring the evolution of modern risk quantification, it reveals the institutional rituals and simulations that transform speculation into numerical authority. From geopolitical risk indices to computer-modeled war games, these tools create the illusion of clarity while shaping real-world decisions. 'How Risk Is Quantified' investigates what happens when expert assessment meets public perception-when probability charts are interpreted as prophecy or dismissed as propaganda. Blending history, sociology, and critical analysis, it invites readers to question not only the data but the faith we place in those who interpret it.
