The Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011 left the entire world
in a state of shock. The international community was unable to
fathom how a major economic power, with one of the most extensive
natural disaster preparedness programs in the world, could be laid
bare to such destruction. Even other highly developed countries
began questioning their own abilities to handle natural disasters.
Different nations have faced disasters of varying intensity
throughout history, and it is in the best interests of the global
community to share experiences and wisdom in order to minimize
damage wrought by future catastrophes.
Based on conference proceedings presented at The Chinese University
of Hong Kong in November 2012, Natural Disaster and Reconstruction
in Asian Economies offers leading insight into and viewpoints on
disasters from scholars and journalists working in Japan, China,
the United States, and Southeast Asia. Yau Shuk-ting focuses on a
broader scope of disasters, such as political, economic, social,
cultural, and environmental crises, as well as psychological
traumas. This work gathers together international wisdom from a
variety of perspectives in the hope that nations will be better
able to manage future disasters and their economic and cultural
fallout.
