Its agenda included building National Biocontainment Laboratories (NBLs), secure facilities intended for research on biodefense applications, at participating universities around the country. In Community at Risk, Thomas D. Beamish examines the civic response to local universities' plans to develop NBLs in three communities: Roxbury, MA; Davis, CA; and Galveston, TX. At a time when the country's anxiety over its security had peaked, reactions to the biolabs ranged from vocal public opposition to acceptance and embrace. He argues that these divergent responses can be accounted for by the civic conventions, relations, and virtues specific to each locale. Together, these elements clustered, providing a foundation for public dialogue. In contrast to conventional micro- and macro-level accounts of how risk is perceived and managed, Beamish's analysis of each case reveals the pivotal role played by meso-level contexts and political dynamics. Community at Risk provides a new framework for understanding risk disputes and their prevalence in American civic life. 410 0$aHigh reliability and crisis management. 606 $aRisk management$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aBiosecurity$zUnited States$xPublic opinion$vCase studies 606 $aBiological laboratories$zUnited States$xPublic opinion$vCase studies 606 $aBioterrorism$xPrevention$xResearch$xPublic opinion$vCase studies 606 $aPublic opinion$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aLocal government$zUnited States$vCase studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRisk management$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aBiosecurity$xPublic opinion 615 0$aBiological laboratories$xPublic opinion 615 0$aBioterrorism$xPrevention$xResearch$xPublic opinion 615 0$aPublic opinion 615 0$aLocal government 676 $a363.325/360973 700 $aBeamish$b Thomas D.$01039107 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460171003321 996 $aCommunity at risk$92461111 997 $aUNINA
