First sentence: Although the concept of risk and its behavioral implications have been singled out for extensive social scientific research in a broad range of fields-including medicine, economics, industry, technology, and environmental studies-it has largely gone unnoticed in the field of international politics and specifically in the study of international security issues, where risk is perennial and its consequences are visible and critical.
