This book analyses the making of the international world of
'natural' disasters by its professionals. Through a long-term
ethnographic study of this arena, the author unveils the various
elements that are necessary for the construction of an
international world: a collective narrative, a shared language, and
standardized practices. The book analyses the two main framings
that these professionals use to situate themselves with regards to
a disaster: preparedness and resilience, arguing that the making of
the world of 'natural' disasters reveals how heterogeneous,
conflicting, and sometimes competing elements are put together.
