Antinomies The Consequences of Global Disasters, (Hardcover)

The Consequences of Global Disasters makes an important and much-needed contribution to the expanding field of disaster research. Numerous contributors concentrate on the cultural, political and psychological ramifications of the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake and tsunami, but disasters in other contexts, such as Australia, China and Haiti, are considered as well. By offering unique empirical, methodological and theoretical insights, The Consequences of Global Disasters sets an agenda for future developments in the field of disaster research and will be a key resource for students and scholars working in social science disciplines.
