Description
Expert contributors take a new look at disasters and international law, covering key concepts such as disaster risk, frameworks which regulate response and recovery from a domestic and regional perspective, and questions concerning vulnerability and marginalisation. With both revised and entirely new chapters, this Research Handbook explores international law in light of significant contemporary global challenges and developments in theory, law and practice. It also reflects on the COVID-19 pandemic and the lessons learnt to implement change for future crises.
The broad perspectives in this Research Handbook ensure this is an essential read for scholars and researchers of international law and disasters. Policymakers in the fields of law and development, as well as governance and regulation will also find this book to be a useful resource for future planning.

Reviews
'The Research Handbook on Disasters and International Law showcases the current breadth and depth of research in the field. Much more than an update of the first edition, the book shows how scholars are tackling anew the challenges of international disaster law during a time of escalating climate change and international ferment.' -- Daniel Farber, University of California, Berkeley, US
