The Books Bold Conclusion Predicts The Confluence Of Four Emerging Trends Politicisation/Militarisation, Catastrophic Scenario Building, Privatisation Of Risk, And Quantification, Which Could Create A New System Of Disaster Management Wherein 'Insurance Logic' Will Replace Humanitarian Concern As The Guiding Principle.Disasters Without Borders Is An Ideal Introductory Text For Students, Lecturers And Practitioners In The Fields Of International Development Studies, Disaster Management, Politics And International Affairs, And Environmental Geography/Sociology.
