Inhaltsangabe

This book takes a regional, multidisciplinary and multi-actor approach to improve understandings of how various actors respond to natural and human-induced disasters in the Asia Pacific region.The contributors draw their findings from a variety of countries in the region, including China, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Japan, Myanmar and Samoa, and importantly, focus on the interconnection between vulnerability and resilience. The focus of this book on recent and on-going disasters makes it a topical and timely contribution to the growing field of disaster management, and will appeal to students and scholars of environmental studies, development studies and Asian politics.
