In Europe, stress tests are used by institutional leaders as a tool
for regulating the banking and nuclear sectors. They were first used in 2009 in the
banking sector in the wake of the sovereign debt crisis and in 2011 in the nuclear
sector following the Fukushima accident. Where in the former case their purpose
is to convince investors of bank stability, in the latter they seek to reassure the
European public as to the safety of nuclear power plants. Both explicitly aim to
offer an “objective and transparent” evaluation of technical objects. This evaluation
defines “crisis” and the ways for resolving it in well-delimited terms. Stress tests
result in an expansion of the domain of European institutional intervention, which
is centralized in the case of banking and distributed in that of nuclear power.
While doing so, they also eliminate alternate ways of conceptualizing crisis and
possible responses thereto. Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
