风险沟通（RC）领域的主导地位是改善风险沟通（CR）的实际和规范性社会技术目标，特别是从监管机构和政府管理部门的角度来看。尽管在过去30年中范围和方向发生了一些变化，但两种理论思想仍然存在：主观-客观风险二分法和传播（也称为代码）模式。这一理论遗产使得上下文成为RC中的盲点。对公司责任主题的研究应考虑（1）风险的社会建构性质和（2）沟通作为信息共享的一种情境社会实践。公众参与的一个有争议的铁路隧道项目在瑞典南部的案例研究的结果，为未来的研究指出关键的上下文尺寸的CR提供了经验教训。本文认为，研究社会责任必须考虑风险的可变本体论、权力关系的构成性和行为者的实践理性。
The risk communication (RC) field is dominated by the practical and normative socio-technical aim of improving communication on risk (CR), especially from the viewpoint of regulatory agencies and government administrations. Despite some change of scope and orientation over the past 30 years, two theoretical ideas have persisted: the subjective-objective risk dichotomy and the transmission (also known as code) model of communication. This theoretical legacy makes context a blind spot in RC. The study of CR themes should consider (1) the socially constructed nature of risk and (2) communication as a situated social practice of information sharing. Results of a case study of public participation in a controversial railway tunnel project in the south of Sweden, offer lessons for future research pointing to crucial contextual dimensions of CR. It is argued that the variable ontology of risk, the constitutive nature of power relationships and the practical rationality of actors must be taken into account in research on the social CR.
