Genealogies Of Risk: Searching For Safety, 1930s-1970s, William Boyd
Genealogies Of Risk: Searching For Safety, 1930s-1970s, William Boyd

Health, safety, and environmental regulation in the United States is saturated with risk thinking. It was not always so, and it may not be so in the future.

US–Poultry (China) was the first Panel decision dealing with an origin-specific SPS measure, or with what the United States referred to as an ‘equivalence regime’. More specifically, it was the first instance in which the basis for the challenged measure was the claimed inability of the complainant country to enforce its own food-safety rules. Unfortunately, as the litigation developed, the very interesting novel issues raised by such a measure were not discussed. This essay discusses those novel issues – in particular, what sort of scientific justification or risk assessment should be required for a measure like this, and what SPS …
