Humanity at Risk compares diverse approaches to the theme of global threats using the tools of philosophy, critical theory, and political thought alongside more practical, socio-political observations. By defining the idea of "global risk" more specifically, Editors Innerarity and Solana, and their contributors, believe we can understand how these risks should be evaluated, predicted, and managed within the framework of democratic societies.The goal of this book is to highlight more precisely the necessity, in the face of new global risks, for new governance at a national, European, and global level.

Daniel Innerarity is Professor of Political and Social Philosophy and Ikerbasque researcher at the University of the Basque Country, Spain. He was a Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, University of Munich, Visiting Professor at the University of Paris 1-Sorbonne and at the Robert Schuman Center for Advanced Studies of the European University Institute of Florence. Javier Solana is president of ESADE Center for Global Economy and Geopolitics, Spain, and distinguished fellow in Foreign Policy at Brookings Institution. He is also member of the board of the International Crisis Group and the European Council on Foreign Relations. He served as Secretary General of NATO, as the European Union's High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy and as Secretary General of the Council of the European Union.
