个人风险管理和政府对公民的责任之间有什么联系？本文认为，新自由主义社会的政府越来越承认有责任帮助公民做出“知情选择”，以减少或避免风险。这一框架的一个关键特点是向公民发布官方政府建议。但这样的建议并不仅仅包含公民可以自由接受或拒绝的信息。相反，它还包括政府有意识的努力，将个人塑造成懂得如何管理风险的精明、谨慎和理性的人（对他们“负责”）。下面我将审查在外国办事处向国际旅行者发出旅行警告的情况下，作为一种责任努力的政府咨询做法。
What are the connections between personal risk-management and governmental responsibility toward citizens? This paper argues that governments in neoliberal societies increasingly acknowledge a responsibility to help citizens make “informed choices” in order to reduce or avoid risk. A key feature within this framework is the issuing of official governmental advice to the citizens. But such advice does not merely carry information that citizens are free to accept or decline. Rather, it also consists of a conscious effort on part of governments to construct individuals as calculating, prudent, and rational persons that know how to manage risk (to “responsibilize” them). Below I examine the practice of governmental advice as an effort of responsibilization in the case of travel warnings issued by foreign offices to international travelers.
