This book comprehensively conceptualises disaster resilience
leadership within the macro context of a risk society. Leadership
for disaster resilience has gained prominence in the face of global
environmental change, and the need for collaboration, integration,
and synergy in addressing this crisis is starker than ever. Drawing
on case studies from across India, the volume focuses on
leaderships of individuals, bureaucratic and political actors,
civil society actors, and institutions. It looks at the ways in
which disaster resilience leadership can address key challenges
through the application of such theoretical perspectives as
integrative public leadership, critical new institutionalism, and
comparative realisation focused approaches to social justice. It
highlights current leadership practices and envisages sustainable
solutions to the environmental crisis by emphasising the need for
disaster resilience leadership that could bring about systemic and
socio-structural change. Presenting fresh perspectives on
leadership research, the book will be an essential read for
scholars and researchers of disaster management, social work,
management studies, development studies, environmental studies, and
public policy. It will also be useful for NGOs and professionals
working in the public sector and with civil society bodies. The
