Contemporary disasters may not kill more women than men
This study investigates the claim that women are disproportionately more likely to die in disasters by reviewing existing data sources and compiling new datasets on sex‐differentiated disaster fatalities in the twenty‐first century. The analysis is structured by disaster type, covering geophysical, meteorological, climatological, hydrological, and biological hazards, as well as broader national‐level patterns based on global databases. It examine…
Political rootlessness, rather than capacity and subsystem support loss? Probing why policy derived from internationally popular norms may terminate easily
Policy studies suggest that policy termination is rare, just as stability is common. Yet, international relations studies suggest that national policies based on international agreements terminate easily. What makes the difference? Widespread discontinuation of national action plans (NAPs) for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a case in point. NAPs are national strategic plans—and hence, national policies—for combatting AMR. More than 170 countri…
The challenges experts face during creeping crises
The policy literature has generally conceptualised crises as urgent public threats with clearly demarcated ‘focusing events’. Consequently, most studies have identified the main challenges faced by expert agencies involved in evidence-based policymaking as managing uncertainty, time pressure and communication. However, less focus has been devoted to analysing the concrete challenges faced by expert agencies during creeping crises. Creeping crises…
Policy termination made easy? The emerging trend towards sunsetting antimicrobial resistance national action plans
While policy termination is usually more difficult than continuity in domestic policymaking, the international process for addressing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) shows that sustaining commitments can be the more difficult path. Addressing persistent crises requires persistent policy responses across multiple countries. Policy coordination among many countries has gained significant scholarly attention whereas analyses of continuing, longer-ter…

The Precarious State of Famine Research
In 2017 famine struck yet again. While famine continues to haunt many fragile countries, the paper reveals a faltering scholarly interest in famine research, particularly within the research tradition of development studies. Today, the research field is rather dominated by the research traditions of history and economics. Interestingly, the steepest decline in scholarly attention to famine coincided with Amartya Sen being awarded the Nobel Prize …
The political dynamics of voter retrospection and disaster responses
Natural hazards not only have socioeconomic ramifications, they also have political repercussions. This paper takes stock of the fast‐growing area of research linking disasters triggered by natural hazards to voting behaviour. It is based on the central tenet of voter retrospection: voters place emphasis on past events when making their selection. The study uncovers a great disparity in analysis of electoral outcomes in the wake of disasters, par…
A Dictionary of Disaster Management
Over 200 entries This new dictionary provides definitions of terms covering disaster research and management. It features practical terms, key concepts in disaster research from a social science perspective, and key organizations involved in disaster management, allowing readers to access definitions on the most important topics within this developing field. Terms include famine, disaster diplomacy, event-tree analysis, and humanitarian principle…
Information Dilemmas and Blame‐Avoidance Strategies
China and other authoritarian states notoriously keep mum about disasters. Yet two recent but dissimilar Chinese responses to infectious disease epidemics show that authoritarian crisis management can shift from secrecy to openness. China maintained prolonged secrecy during 2003 SARS, yet was open from day one about 2009 H1N1 flu. To explore why, this article links crisis information dilemmas to blame avoidance concepts from democratic political …

Diagnosis of famine
This paper recommends the incorporation of an additional discursive dimension in famine diagnosis that draws on the number of reports referring to famine in the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA)'s ReliefWeb database. Present-day diagnostic tools already apply the principle of triangulation with multiple indicators; the addition of a discursive diagnostic dimension would enable even more refined analysis, al…

The Entitlement Approach
The article dismisses most of the objections previously forwarded in this journal by Khandakar Qudrat-I Elahi against Amartya Sen's framework for famine analysis: the entitlement approach. Instead, the article argues that even 30 years after the conception of the entitlement approach, it remains a potent framework for famine analysis, as illustrated by the recent 2005 famine in Niger. However, as contemporary famines are increasingly linked to fa…
The Entitlement Approach – A Case for Framework Development Rather than Demolition
Elahi’s 2006 article subjected Amartya Sen’s entitlement approach to numerous criticisms: the approach contradicted the fundamental principle of market economy; it was based on a hidden hypothesis that income distributions in non-communist states are economically and politically optimal; and it contributed to a process of landlessness and pauperisation. Unfortunately, Elahi (2009) continues down the same path of unsubstantiated accusations in his…
