Third-Party Risk Policies in The Netherlands

A Historical Sketch 

Ben Ale | April 2023, Cambridge Scholars Publishing

It is not easy to keep the population safe in a country that is one of the most densely populated in the world, a hub of international transport over land and water and through the air, about one-third of which lies below sea level.

Third-party risk policies developed gradually in The Netherlands but became acute in the late 20th century as various industries increased their use and production of hazardous materials.

The Dutch government, considering its constitutional responsibility to protect the life, health and well-being of its people, must resolve the ongoing debate between the general population, who are exposed to these risks, and those profiting from the creation of said risks-the resultant policies are a product of this balancing act.

This book will interest politicians, policymakers, civil servants, and the general population. It contains valuable insight into what constitutes sustainable policy and how it can be achieved.
