Given the tendency of books on disasters to predominantly focus on
strong geophysical or descriptive perspectives and in-depth
accounts of particular catastrophes, Disaster Research provides a
much-needed multidisciplinary perspective of the area. This book is
is structured thematically around key approaches to disaster
research from a range of different, but often complementary
academic disciplines. Each chapter presents distinct approaches to
disaster research that is anchored in a particular discipline;
ranging from the law of disasters and disaster historiography to
disaster politics and anthropology of disaster. The methodological
and theoretical contributions underlining a specific approach to
disasters are discussed and illustrative empirical cases are
examined that support and further inform the proposed approach to
disaster research. The book thus provides unique insights into
fourteen state-of-the-art disciplinary approaches to the
understanding of disasters. The theoretical discussions as well as
the diverse range of disaster cases should be of interest to both
postgraduate and undergraduate students, as well as academics,
researchers and policymakers.
