| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xix, 325 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 06 Jun 2016). |
| Contents | New governance & humanitarian aid -- Legal background : post-disaster humanitarian aid law & policy -- Theory and practice of international response -- Indonesia's tsunami of 2004 -- The Haitian earthquake of 2010 -- Theory and practice of state-led response -- The Thai flood of 2011 -- Japan's Tohoku earthquake and tsunami 2011 -- Hurricane Katrina -- Myanmar's cyclone Nargis of 2008 -- Public-private partnerships through crowd-sourced governance -- Governance and humanitarian aid survey data -- Conclusions: lessons learned/policy suggestions. |
| Summary | With growing awareness of the devastation caused by major natural disasters, alongside integration of governance and technology networks, the parameters of humanitarian aid are becoming more global. At the same time, humanitarian instruments are increasingly recognizing the centrality of local participation. Drawing on six case studies and a survey of 69 members of the relief sector, this book suggests that the key to the efficacy of post-disaster recovery is the primacy given to local actors in the management, direction and design of relief programs. Where local partnership and knowledge generation and application is ongoing, cohesive, meaningful and inclusive, disaster relief efforts are more targeted, cost-effective, efficient and timely. Governing Disasters: Engaging Local Populations in Humanitarian Relief examines the interplay between law, governance and collaborative decision making with international, state, private sector and community actors in order to understand the dynamics of a global decentralized yet coordinated process of post-disaster humanitarian assistance. |
