With growing awareness of the devastation caused by major natural
disasters, alongside integration of governance and technology
networks, the parameters of humanitarian aid are becoming more
global. At the same time, humanitarian instruments are increasingly
recognizing the centrality of local participation. Drawing on six
case studies and a survey of sixty-nine members of the relief
sector, this book suggests that the key to the efficacy of
post-disaster recovery is the primacy given to local actors in the
management, direction and design of relief programs. Where local
partnership and knowledge generation and application is ongoing,
cohesive, meaningful and inclusive, disaster relief efforts are
more targeted, cost-effective, efficient and timely. Governing
Disasters: Engaging Local Populations in Humanitarian Relief
examines the interplay between law, governance and collaborative
decision making with international, state, private sector and
community actors in order to understand the dynamics of a global
decentralized yet coordinated process of post-disaster humanitarian
assistance.
