摘要：
The continued extension of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA)
providing federal financial support to the insurance industry in
the event of further terrorist attacks in the US does not reflect
the advent of a risk society of uninsurable danger. While the specter
of risk society has tracked and influenced the legislative process,
it has done so discontinuously and often contentiously. Instead,
the legislative trajectory reveals the current insurance arrangements
as being shaped by a eterogeneous collection of analyses, calculations
and concerns as legislators have sought to govern the insurability
of terrorist acts. The paper addresses how, why and with what implications
governmental endeavors can become implicated with risk society concepts.
