South Asia is one of the most vulnerable areas of an increasingly

droughts causing several casualties and disrupting lives and
livelihoods every year. Yet the impacts of disasters are not

South Asia is one of the most vulnerable areas of an increasingly
disaster-impacted world, with cyclones, earthquakes, floods and
droughts causing several casualties and disrupting lives and
livelihoods every year. Yet the impacts of disasters are not
equally distributed across the peoples of the region.Women and men
experience disaster differently, and their needs in the aftermath
of disaster often differ. Bringing together perspectives from
academics, emergency response specialists and development
practitioners, the volume investigates to what extent and in what
ways gender affects the course of post-disaster reconstruction.
Conversely, it also explores in what ways gender politics may be
altered by disaster and post-disaster reconstruction. The study
includes: a comprehensive overview of key issues facing women and
men, as gendered beings, in reconstruction and development; a
targeted observation of specific South Asian disaster contexts; and
a sustained discussion of case studies and their implications and
lessons. This book will interest scholars and researchers of
disaster management, rehabilitation studies, gender, environment,
ecology and sociology. It will also be useful to institutions
dealing with natural and man-made disasters, non-governmental
organisations and disaster recovery professionals.
This book seeks to understand the evolution of Soviet policy
towards the countries of South Asia, the regional constraints and
policy opportunities which influenced the policy process in Moscow,
and the relationship between Soviet perceptions and policy
objectives. The author divides Soviet foreign policy into three
aspects: a perceptual aspect in which assessment of the regional
and international environment occurs; a formulative aspect in which
aims and strategies are developed; and an implementation aspect.
The book analyses Soviet policy objectives and instruments in
distinct historical phases: 1970-1978, which covers the
Indo-Pakistani War and bilateral relations; 1979-1985, which covers
the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and and its impact on regional
politics; and 1985 to the present which examines the Gorbachev era
and the withdrawal from Afghanistan.
