This book analyzes the ways in which the Chinese government and
military responded to the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan
province. It adopts a comparative and historical perspective in
studying the responses of the Chinese government in the first
critical 72 hours, the mobilization of the People's Liberation Army
and its difficulties, the assertive and important role of the
non-governmental groups which established a partnership with the
state in the rescue operations, and the process and politics of
reconstruction. The book is rich in materials, including
comparative case studies of the Tangshan earthquake in 1976, the
outbreak of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in 2003, the
earthquakes in Haiti, Chile and Myanmar, and the contrasts with the
Japanese earthquake tsunami in 2011. Researchers, government
officials, policy analysts, seismic specialists, journalists and
students will find this book extremely useful, conceptually
insightful and practically policy-relevant.
