These perspectives and approaches, which to a large extent can be viewed as scientific schools, include what we will refer to as 'safety science' (highlighting sociotechnical aspects, complexity theory, and resilience analysis), 'risk governance and systemic risk frameworks', 'post-normal science', quality management and 'risk science' (highlighting 'broad' perspectives on risk with an emphasis on uncertainties, knowledge and potential surprises (black swans)). The main aim of the paper is to provide new reflections and knowledge on the proper assessment and handling of risk of the types addressed above, by critically reviewing current perspectives and approaches, and pointing to areas with the potential for enhancements, so that we can be better able to confront global, highly uncertain and large consequence threats like the Coronavirus in the future. ./cache/cord-300170-s2qthxx4.txt ./txt/cord-300170-s2qthxx4.txt
