Exploring the intersection of disasters and diplomacy, this groundbreaking work examines how political dynamics influence responses to crises. Unlike previous studies that focus narrowly on specific regions or types of disasters, it offers a comprehensive analysis of disaster-politics interactions. The book also addresses the limitations of existing quantitative research, providing a fresh perspective on the complexities of disaster diplomacy and its implications for international relations.
We speak of earthquakes, floods, and wildfires as 'natural disasters'. In this provocative book, Ilan Kelman argues that the true disaster is not caused by natural phenomena, but by human choices which leave people unprepared and at terrible risk. He explores how we can and should act to stop people dying when nature unleashes its powers.
