<abstract displayLabel="Summary">Introduction -- What role does the public play in the risk management process -- What role does risk analysis play? -- What cultural factors will be important in increased globalization of risks? -- Conclusions and observations: what do we learn? -- In light of the present day risk controversies such as global warming and hormones in beef, partially caused by a more globalized world, national differences and similarities in how to manage risks become increasingly important. In this brief "perspective" we focus on how risks are managed in three nations, namely Japan, Sweden, and the United States, specifically focusing on the roles of deliberation, risk analysis, and the importance of cultural factors. </abstract>
