Flaws Shark Bites and Emotional Public Policymaking By: Christopher L. Pepin-Neff Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan Print ISBN: 9783030109752, 3030109755 eText ISBN: 9783030109769, 3030109763 Copyright year: 2019 Format: EPUB Available from $ 79.99 USD SKU 9783030109769 This book examines the policymaking process following highly emotional events. It focuses on the politics of shark “attacks” by looking at policy responses to tragic shark bites in Florida, Australia, and South Africa. The book reviews these cases by identifying the flaws in the human-shark relationship, including the way sharks are portrayed as the enemy, the way shark bites are seen as intentional, and how policy responses appear to be based on public safety. Flaws identifies politicians as the true sharks of this story for their manipulation of tragic circumstances to protect their own interests. It argues that shark bites are ungovernable accidents of nature, and that we are “in the way, not on the menu.” Download now: https://ouo.io/UatRJW
