Summary:"The frequency and intensity of hazards and disasters is increasing worldwide. The ways in which risks and disasters are prevented and managed can differ significantly, however, global solutions are required. This book provides a comprehensive overview of cutting edge trends in governance research, exploring how risks, hazards, and disasters can be mainstreamed into a governance framework. It explores the concept of governance as a valuable key word for describing the multiple approaches of actors behaving and operating in threatened or disaster-prone social systems. This book showcases the latest theoretical and empirical applications of governance in research and practice, from community engagement to social media, from policies to armed forces. Contributions draw on international examples from a range of hazards and provide multi-disciplinary perspectives from the disaster sciences and socio cultural contexts."--Provided by publisher
