The Institutionalisation of Disaster Risk ReductionAuthor :

Description
The past three decades have seen a global shift in disaster management from an event driven response to a `could-be risk management approach. Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) has become entrenched as a dominant paradigm within the field of disaster management. More than a decade after adopting DRR legislation in South Africa there remains a dearth of evidence that this has translated into substantive action. This book examines the institutionalisation of DRM in South Africa. Using a Critical Theory approach, the book does not consider why DRR is failing but instead asks `why DRR? It explores possibilities beyond DRRs narrow optic and offers new insights into disaster management.
