Using the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake as a case study, it illustrates how authoritarian regimes are creating new governance mechanisms in response to the changing global environment and what challenges they are confronted with in the process. The book examines both the immediate and long-term effects of a major disaster on China?s policy, institutions, and governing practices, and seeks to explain which factors lead to hasty and poorly conceived reconstruction efforts, which in turn reproduce the very same conditions of vulnerability or expose communities to new risks. In short, it tells a ?political? story of how intra-governmental interactions, state-society relations, and international engagement can shape the processes and outcomes of recovery and reconstruction. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Political Science,$x2191-5466 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aPolitical Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aPolitical Science. 676 $a300 676 $a320 676 $a363.34/958095138090511 700 $aKang$b Yi$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01216825 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484250603321 996 $aDisaster management in China in a changing era$92813558 997 $aUNINA
