Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Disasters are the product of the social, economic, and political environments in which hazards occur. While there is a large body of academic research on the first two, the study of the way disasters and politics interact is relatively new. This Special Issue seeks to build on this knowledge by focusing on the ways in which political factors affect disaster outcomes and the ways in which disaster outcomes, in turn, affect the post-disaster political environment. We invite articles focused on the politics of disaster mitigation, preparedness, response, and/or recovery. Articles can employ data from any country, and may focus on either single-country inquiries or cross-national comparisons.
Dr. Jason Enia
Guest Editor
