This book is a critical analysis of several of the most
disaster-prone regions in Asia. Its unique focus is on the legal
issues in the phase of disaster recovery, the most lengthy and
difficult stage of disaster response that follows the conclusion of
initial emergency stage of humanitarian aid. In the stage of
disaster recovery, the law decides the fate of reconstruction for
the individual houses and livelihoods of the disaster-affected
people and sets the limit of governmental support for them during
the lengthy period of suspension of normal living until full
recovery is obtained. Researchers who were participant-observers in
the difficult recovery phase after the mega-disasters in Asia
analyse the reality of the functions of law which often hinder,
rather than foster, efforts to restore disaster victims' lives. The
book collects research conducted with an emphasis on empirical
approaches to legal sociology, including direct interviews with
people affected by the disaster. It offers a holistic approach
beyond the traditional sectionalism of legal studies by starting
with a historical review and incorporating both spheres of public
law and private law, in order to obtain a new perspective that can
concurrently achieve disaster risk reductions and human-centered
recoveries. With particular emphasis on the unexplored area of law
in the post-disaster recovery phase, this book will attract the
attention of students and scholars of disaster studies, legal
studies, Asian studies, as well as those who work in the practice
of disaster management.
