Review of Managing Disasters and Disasters and the American State
Perspectives on Politics
(2015)
Abstract
These two new books tackle the topic of disaster management and response from very different angles but share a focus on the role of public- and private-sector institutions in managing crises. Both works suggest that the United States should attempt a more optimal balance among private, public, and local actors than can be found in current disaster management systems.
