Résumé :
|
At risk focuses on what makes people vulnerable. Often this means analyzing the links between poverty and vulnerability. But it is also important to take account of different social groups that suffer more in extreme events, including women, children, ethnic minorities, refugees and people with disabilities. Vulnerability has also been increased by global environmental change and economic globalization. The new edition confronts a further ten years of ever more expensive and deadly disasters since it was first published and discusses disaster not as an aberration, but as a signal failure of mainstream 'development'
