Disasters of the 21st century differ substantially from other kinds
of hazards that previous societies have had to cope with because of
the twin forces of globalization and the communications revolution.
But what makes today's disasters-industrial, technological,
environmental, and socio-cultural-so different in scope and impact?
What are the possible disasters of the future? And how can we, as
collective humanity, best manage and respond to the globalization
of disasters? The Consequences of Global Disasters makes a
distinctive contribution to the ever-expanding field of disaster
research by developing a multi-contextual, multi-disciplinary and
multi-methodological approach to the social analysis of disasters.
Anthony Elliott and Eric L. Hsu have brought together a highly
distinguished group of international contributors to focus on how
people react to the unsettling effects of disasters, which come in
a multitude of forms. Numerous contributors concentrate on the
cultural, political and psychological ramifications of the 2011
Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami, but disasters in other
contexts, such as Australia, China and Haiti, are considered as
well. By offering unique empirical, methodological and theoretical
insights, The Consequences of Global Disasters sets an agenda for
future developments in the field of disaster research and will be a
key resource for students and scholars working in social science
disciplines such as sociology, cultural studies, international
relations, psycho-social studies, social work, Japanese studies and
social theory.
