The ESRC Centre for Analysis of Risk and Regulation (CARR) is an interdisciplinary research centre at LSE. Its core work focuses on the organisational and institutional settings for risk management and regulatory practices.
It carries out a programme of interdisciplinary research and makes significant contributions in the areas of economics, sociology, psychology, political science, human geography, environmental planning, management and business studies and socio-legal studies.
CARR's wide-ranging remit also involves working closely with government policy-makers and business practitioners, as well as advancing programmes to establish national and international scholarship ('outreach'), and the development of younger scholars working in risk regulation studies.
CARR has rapidly established itself as an international reference point and centre of excellence for risk regulation studies.
The Centre aims to study risk management and regulation in three specific areas:
- organisations and risk management
- business regulation and corporate governance
- regulation of government and governance
