Abstract
Building on the assumption that there is, indeed, no such thing as a perfect model of risk, this study will first provide a manifold explanation for that matter.
Subsequently, while assuming the possible existence of such a perfect model of risk, it will question its value as regards to the politicization of modern societies, before ultimately recommending some guidelines to improve the current risk assessment methods, the further elaboration of which could undoubtedly contribute to offset some of the current risk modelling methods' shortages.
The impossibility of establishing a perfect model of risk is closely linked to inherent characteristics of the notion of risk itself.
Since risk avoidance became one of our modern society's biggest preoccupations, the notion of risk has been scrutinized by a significant number of academics, whose primary goal was to find an "analytical fix" to the risk issue.
Soon enough, while scholars realized that there was no clear definition of risk, the idea of establishing a perfect model of risk became a challenge. One of the peculiarities of the notion lays indeed on the fact that it is likely to be interpreted in numerous ways.
