Description

This theoretical work challenges the dominance of Western knowledge frameworks in disaster scholarship, arguing that normative policies and practices of disaster risk reduction have been imposed globally without accounting for diverse cultural experiences. Using a postcolonial approach, the book examines why scholars treat disasters as social constructs whilst relying on universal theories, concepts and methods that fail to capture the unique circumstances of millions across different societies. It critically interrogates Enlightenment-derived governmental forms that have been exported worldwide, offering a fresh perspective on how hazard and vulnerability are understood, defined and managed in contemporary disaster risk reduction discourse.

Key Features

Routledge academic publication offering postcolonial critique of Western-dominated disaster scholarship and risk reduction frameworks.

Examines the gap between disaster theory and the diverse, culturally specific experiences of vulnerable populations worldwide.

Challenges universal knowledge claims in hazard studies by questioning inherited Enlightenment governance models applied to global disaster management.

Part of the Routledge Studies in Hazards, Disaster Risk and Climate Change series for academic research and professional reference.

Provides theoretical foundation for rethinking disaster risk reduction policies beyond Western normative approaches and assumptions.
