Plus haut « sommet » de la moitié sud de l’atoll de Tarawa à Kiribati: Altitude, changement climatique et réalités du quotidien
L’altitude, ou l’absence d’élévation, constitue un puissant argument politique et médiatique dans le contexte contemporain du changement climatique. Cette photo prise à South Tarawa, Kiribati, est une parfaite illustration du discours tenu par certains gouvernements des pays les moins élevés au monde pour attirer l’attention sur leur territoire. Ainsi, les médias internationaux ont récemment fait leurs titres de l’initiative du gouvernement de Ki…
US-Philippines Military Relations After the Mt Pinatubo Eruption in 1991: A Disaster Diplomacy Perspective
This paper explores the impact of the 1991 Mt Pinatubo eruption on the US-Republic of the Philippines military relations through the lens of disaster diplomacy. Disaster diplomacy focuses on how and why disaster-related activities (e.g. mitigation, prevention and response) do and do not yield diplomatic gains, looking mainly at disaster-related activities affecting diplomacy rather than the reverse. Disaster diplomacy 'pathways', identified in pr…

This is particularly true for regions that experience regular environmental and economic shocks. However, to date this level of analysis has been largely absent from impact studies. The purpose of this paper is to overcome this lack of contextual analysis by using Bangladesh as…

Extreme versus quotidian: Addressing temporal dichotomies in Philippine disaster management
Brief narratives of two recent events in Luzon island-a flashflood in Angeles City and an eruption of Mayon volcano-underscore the disparity between natural hazards as amplifiers of everyday hardship for many Filipinos and the Philippine disaster management system's orientation towards extreme-event response. Three major factors contribute to this dichotomy. First, population dynamics combined with the lack of access to resources compels poor Fil…

Traditional Societies' Response to Volcanic Hazards in the Philippines: Implications for Community-based Disaster Recovery
Mt Pinatubo is located on the main island of Luzon in the Philippines. Its 1991 eruption is considered one of the most powerful volcanic explosions of the 20th century. The first victims of the eruption were the Aeta indigenous communities living on the slopes of the mountain. In 1999, approximately 50,000 people were still trying to resume life on the slopes of Mt Pinatubo. Their traditional way of life has been deeply affected by the disaster, …
Wave of peace? Tsunami disaster diplomacy in Aceh, Indonesia

Design/methodology/approach This paper considers that resilient societies are those able to overcome the damage caused by the occurrence of natural hazards, either through maintaining their pre-disaster social fabric, or through accepting marginal or larger change in order to survive. The discussi…
Retour sur les causes d'une catastrophe: Pourquoi plus de 1 600 morts aux Philippines fin 2004
Fin 2004, quatre cyclones et dépressions tropicales ont balayé la côte orientale de l'île principale de Luçon, au nord de l'archipel philippin, conduisant à la mort de plus de 1600 personnes. Les causes de cette catastrophe dépassent le seul facteur climatique et l'absence de couverture forestière immédiatement évoqués par la classe politique et les médias. Elles tiennent, au contraire, à la croissance démographique mal maîtrisée, au difficile ac…
