This book constitutes a landmark attempt to address,
comprehensively and in-depth, a policy-focused approach to the many
timely and important issues associated with building a culture of
disaster prevention and disaster risk reduction. This book not only
provides key insights into the field of natural hazard and disaster
studies but also assesses the causes, perspectives, and
consequences of natural disasters, as well as providing a global
survey of post-recovery policies. The contributions found herein
discuss disaster risk reduction strategies and policies for
managing the unexpected and cascading impacts of natural disasters.
A particular focus is placed on transboundary catastrophes that
cross policy domains, geographic, political, and sectoral
boundaries. Since the disaster management and natural resources
policy research field draws on a diverse range of paradigms and
influences, the book includes case histories, empirical studies,
conceptual-theoretical investigations, policy perspectives,
institutional analysis, and risk analyses. The role of human
culture, disaster psychology and environmental monitoring are
examined in depth. Deficiencies and inequalities in local,
national, and global disaster response are also discussed. Original
strategies for reducing disaster risk are put forward and the
prospects for a major change in the direction of global policy on
disasters. This book was published as a special issue of the
Journal of Natural Resources Policy Research.
