The Institutionalisation of Disaster Risk Reduction South Africa and Neoliberal Governmentality

The Institutionalisation of Disaster Risk Reduction South Africa and Neoliberal Governmentality

The past three decades have seen a global shift in disaster management from an event driven response to a ‘could-be’ risk management approach. Disaster risk reduction (DRR) has become entrenched as a dominant paradigm within the field of disaster management. More than a decade after adopting DRR legislation in South Africa there remains a dearth of evidence that this has translated into substantive action. This book examines the institutionalisation of DRR in South Africa conceived of as a political economy of knowledge production. Using a critical theory approach the book does not consider why DRR is failing but instead asks ‘why DRR?’ As such it explores possibilities beyond DRR’s narrow optic and offers new insights into disaster management through the lens of South Africa. This is valuable reading for graduate students and academics working in disaster studies geography public policy and development/post-development studies as well as policy makers. | The Institutionalisation of Disaster Risk Reduction South Africa and Neoliberal Governmentality

Arguing that risk preparedness and mitigation have historically been secondary to reactive emergency and first aid response the book demonstrates that preparedness plans based on sound risk assessments can prevent hazards from becoming disasters. Emphasising that the protection of cultural heritage through preparedness mitigation actions and risk adaptation measures – especially for climate change – can contribute to the resilience of societies the book highlights the vital role of communities in such activities.

Disaster in the Early Modern World Examinations Representations Interventions

Disaster in the Early Modern World Examinations Representations Interventions

How did early modern societies think about disasters such as earthquakes or floods? How did they represent disaster and how did they intervene to mitigate its destructive effects? This collection showcases the breadth of new work on the period ca. 1300-1750. Covering topics that range from new thinking about risk and securitisation to the protection of dikes from shipworm and with a geography that extends from Europe to Spanish America the volume places early modern disaster studies squarely at the intersection of intellectual cultural and socio-economic history. This period witnessed fresh speculation on nature the diffusion of disaster narratives and imagery and unprecedented attempts to control the physical world. The book will be essential to specialists and students of environmental history and disaster as well as general readers who seek to discover how pre-industrial societies addressed some of the same foundational issues we grapple with today. | Disaster in the Early Modern World Examinations Representations Interventions
