|a This edited volume discusses disaster from a multi-disciplinary perspective. It outlines a number of problems faced by national governments and international organizations in their efforts to reduce disaster risks, highlighting mechanisms to overcome rigid bureaucratic frameworks and to foster new knowledge in the field. K. Hewitt analyzes disasters from a social perspective, focusing specifically on how ideas about risk can impact the implementation of preventive measures and how communities respond when they face potential disaster. E. Mansilla notes that while researchers have studied disaster in different compartments, whether theorizing on large or small disasters, urban risk, or disasters in developing as compared to developed countries, they have not actually taken into consideration how international organizations play a role in shaping and setting the agenda when it comes to topics related to disaster. O.D. Cardona argues that the systematic analysis of disaster cycles is a recent phenomenon in the field. The cycle of disaster entails a sequence of phases logically related (prevention, mitigation, preparation, alert, response, rehabilitation and reconstruction). Development questions must be addressed throughout each of the phases of the disaster cycle. In this ambitious study of disaster, the authors address many facets of the disaster cycle. Using case studies from Mexico and Bangladesh, they outline some of the psychological perspectives associated with disaster, models of development as intervening and intersecting variables in the study of disaster, and education and planning models focused on increasing disaster risk awareness. |
