Resumen

Este trabajo comprende el principio de precaución como indicador de las tensiones en los estándares de gobierno. El principio de precaución no es una medida provisional y preventiva tomada por la falta de conocimientos y causado por la magnitud de los riesgos; no es una variante del análisis del riesgo. Antes bien, es un principio que genera reglas y normas orientadas a identificar espacios de incertidumbre y debatir acerca de lo que denominamos conocimiento relevante.
