The Impact of Disasters on Development Gains: Clarity or Controversy
نویسنده
چکیده
In 1983, Fred Cuny published his seminal work on Disasters and Development. Although a number of studies had been published previously on the theme of disasters and social change, Cuny provided a first systematized and comprehensive series of ideas on the ways disasters may interrupt development processes, whilst, at the same time, offering opportunities for future development. Important considerations were added to this debate during the eighties, particularly by Mary Anderson (1985; 1989). By the end of the decade the theme of disasters, environment and sustainability had also been vented in a number of works edited by Kreimer (1989), Kreimer and Zador (1989) and Kreimer and Munasinghe (1991).
