It has been a while since I have read a book in one sitting. Disasters Without Borders hit that mark. This fluent, critical and accessible book, provides a wealth of detail and insight into the political and social pressures that shape discourse, international organisation and policy for disaster management. A strongly recommended text for students of humanitarianism, disaster risk management and international development policy, and a wake-up call for practitioners. Mark Pelling, King's College London This volume highlights the interplay of normative, political and institutional factors steering how we conceptualise and respond to disasters. As such it provides readers with an understanding of how actors at different levels actually make sense of disasters, a perspective that is rarely explored in the current literature Ian Christoplos, Danish Institute for International Studies
