Ecological Risks and Disasters New Experiences in China and Europe

Climate change and other factors are capable of bringing about major disasters on a scale hitherto unimaginable. Ecological and other risks, besides having scientific and technological dimensions, are also a subject of study for social scientists concerned with how disasters and potential disasters are noticed, perceived, guarded against, managed once they have occurred, and coped with after they have happened. This book considers a range of ecological risks and disasters and how they are managed in both China and Europe. It examines how far risks and disasters are perceived and managed in different ways in Europe and China, explores how an increasing humanitarian approach to vulnerable people being taken up in Europe is also being adopted in China, and assesses how far the management of disasters differs from wider government management of more ordinary aspects of everyday life. The book argues that the same stresses and strains which are present in normal society are also in disaster situations, albeit in an enhanced form.

Li Peilin is Professor of Sociology and Vice President of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, China.

Laurence Roulleau-Berger is Research Director at CNRS, cole Normale Suprieure de Lyon, France.
