ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to design the governance model desirable for communication between government and citizens in food safety regulation. To do so, it compared Korea, Japan, and UK cases with a focus on a UK case, one of the most advanced models. In the process of the regulation, risk management as a policy function bases on the results of risk assessment as a research function. UK FSA attempts not only to draw the result of risk assessment on a scientific ground, but also to keep its organic links with policy outcomes. In particular, coordination works through the mechanism of risk communication, in which a diversity of stakeholder participate. It prevents the situation when negative social ripple effects, following policy outcomes, may spread due to the lack of trust.
