677 Citations2006Lisa Schipper, Mark Pelling
This paper seeks to review the theoretical and policy linkages among disaster risk reduction, climate change and development and finds that not only does action within one realm affect capacity for action in the others, but also that there is much that can be learnt and shared between realms in order to ensure a move towards a path of integrated and more sustainable development.

DisastersRendering the World Unsafe: ‘Vulnerability’ as Western Discourse
483 Citations2001Greg Bankoff
This paper argues that tropicality, development and vulnerability form part of one and the same essentialising and generalising cultural discourse that denigrates large regions of world as disease-ridden, poverty-stricken and disaster-prone.

118 Citations2003Mike Hulme
It is premature to argue that abrupt climate change imposes unacceptable costs on society or the world economy, represents a catastrophic impact of climate change or constitutes a dangerous change in climate that should be avoided at all reasonable cost.
DisastersRisk and the Neoliberal State: Why Post‐Mitch Lessons Didn't Reduce El Salvador's Earthquake Losses
115 Citations2001Ben Wisner
An explanation for the failure to implement mitigation and preventive actions is traced to the adherence by the government of El Salvador to an extreme form of neoliberal, free market ideology, and the deep fissures and mistrust in a country that follow a long and bloody civil war.
