Multiple dystopias. 330 $aThe past three decades have seen a global shift in disaster management from an event driven response to a 'could-be' risk management approach. Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) has become entrenched as a dominant paradigm within the field of disaster management. More than a decade after adopting DRR legislation in South Africa there remains a dearth of evidence that this has translated into substantive action. This book examines the institutionalisation of DRM in South Africa. Using a Critical Theory approach, the book does not consider why DRR is failing but instead asks 'why DRR?' It explores possibilities beyond DRR's narrow optic and offers new insights into disaster management. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in hazards, disaster risk, and climate change. 606 $aEmergency management$zSouth Africa 607 $aSouth Africa$xPolitics and government 615 0$aEmergency management 676 $a363.3480954 700 $aRiet$b Gideon van.$0916780 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154873103321 996 $aThe institutionalisation of disaster risk reduction$92055255 997 $aUNINA
