Post-disaster reconstruction in Asia : new actors and approaches / R. Michael Feener and Patrick Daly Summary Providing a detailed and comparative assessment of the humanitarian responses to a series of major disasters in Asia over the past two decades, including massive earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis, this book explores complex and changing understandings and practices of relief, recovery, and reconstruction. These critical investigations raise questions about the position and responsibilities of a growing range of stakeholders, and provide in-depth explorations of the ways in which local communities are transformed on multiple levels - not only by the impact of disaster events, but also by the experiences of rebuilding. This timely volume highlights how the experiences of Asia can contribute towards post-disaster responses globally, to safeguard future communities and reduce vulnerabilities. This is a valuable resource for academic researchers interested in post-disaster transformations and development studies, practitioners in NGOs, and government officials dealing with disaster response and disaster risk reduction Notes Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 08 Mar 2016) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index Notes English Subject Community development -- Asia Community development -- Pacific Area Disaster relief -- Asia Disaster relief -- Pacific Area Humanitarian assistance -- Asia Humanitarian assistance -- Pacific Area Natural disasters -- Social aspects -- Asia Natural disasters -- Social aspects -- Pacific Area BUSINESS & ECONOMICS -- Infrastructure.
