Research Topics

► Risk regulation of environment, health and safety in Europe and the United States

► European risk governance of emerging technologies

► Biodiversity politics and policies

 

Dr. Ronit Justo-Hanani studies classic and emerging risk phenomena, ranging from nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, GM-food and other consumer products, to bioinvasion, biodiversity loss, agricultural pesticides, and hazardous chemicals. Theories of transatlantic regulatory divergence, the role of the EU as transnational and global risk regulator, and global environmental politics, are central to her work.
