Working Papers from HAL

Abstract: Scientific expertise is one of two main bases on which the precautionary principle depends for its implementation, aside with procedures of participation of public to the thinking and debate on collective risks touching health and the environment. The paper aims at enlightening which effects specific precautionary contexts involve for approaches of expertise. A first section is dedicated to a clarification of the requirements of the precautionary principle. Then are studied the relationship to be established between risk assessment and risk management, and standard features such as objectivity, independence, pluralism and transparency. The paper stresses the need both to integrate a specific expertise of normative judgments (law, economics, moral philosophy) and to consider various possibilities of implementation failure and imperfections of considered precautionary measures within risk assessment.
