Territorial Crisis Management
Our societies have become very crisis-prone. This book explores crises and the methods of anticipation, management and reconstruction, and considers a risk-crisis-territorial development continuum. The aim is to better understand a widely used concept and clarify the methods of action in the field of crisis management. The different forms of learning proposed to better face future crises are also questioned. This book invites us to analyze the resources available to support crisis management and reconstruction, and consider the unequal access to these resources in different territories in order to design future territorial strategies. This often results in a form of territorial inertia after the crises. However, some innovate, imagine renewed territories, prepare for reconstruction, or even recompose territories now in order to make them more resilient. The crisis can then be the driving force or the accelerator of these changes and contribute to the emergence of new practices, or even new urban and territorial utopias.
Handbook of Hazards and Disaster Risk Reduction
The Handbook provides a comprehensive statement and reference point for hazard and disaster research, policy making, and practice in an international and multi-disciplinary context. It offers critical reviews and appraisals of current state of the art and future development of conceptual, theoretical and practical approaches as well as empirical knowledge and available tools. Organized into five inter-related sections, this Handbook contains sixty-five contributions from leading scholars. Section one situates hazards and disasters in their broad political, cultural, economic, and environmental context. Section two contains treatments of potentially damaging natural events/phenomena organized...
International Bibliography of Sociology
IBSS is the essential tool for librarians, university departments, research institutions and any public or private institution whose work requires access to up-to-date and comprehensive knowledge of the social sciences.
Cities, Citizenship and Jews in France and the United States, 1905–2022 (Volume 1)
This comparative, transatlantic two-volume work covers nearly 120 years of the history of the rights, integration, and security of the Jewish people in both the United States and France, the countries with the largest and third-largest Jewish populations. Religious freedom and secularism have evolved differently in France and the United States, reinforcing their separate national identities. Yet there are parallels to their Jewish history, and in how the security of Jews has repeatedly defined and tested the national interests of France and the United States in world affairs. Drawing on the author’s personal experience as an international civil servant, these volumes explore topics such as...

Floods
The management of flood risk seems to be facing a daunting paradox. Despite increasingly effective risk knowledge tools and the efforts of international institutions to place risk reduction at the top of the agenda, the cost of disasters continues to increase. It is also increasingly difficult to avoid the urbanization or development of potential flood zones. The fundamental issue involves determining the conditions necessary for efficient prevention by focusing on adaptability to risk, which implies coping with the risk of flooding rather than directly fighting against it or simply ignoring it. This second volume of the Floods series of books explores existing policies and tools which mitig...
La sécurité civile dans les États de la Communauté économique et monétaire de l'Afrique centrale (CEMAC).
La 4e de couv. indique : "Le nouveau formalisme juridique ouvre des perspectives de recherche vers l'innovation juridique pour relever les défis que posent les catastrophes. Il faut des nouvelles normes, «des nouvelles représentations des systèmes de droit». Claude Lienhard soulignait qu'il s'agit «de penser et de classer autrement. [...] Le nouvel ordonnancement que nous percevons impliquera certainement un prix à payer du point de vue de l'orthodoxie juridique [...]». Référence est donc faite au recours à l'innovation dans la mesure où le domaine du traitement des risques collectifs invite à raisonner selon un ordre juridique beaucoup plus complexe que l'ordre traditionnel ide...
Les inondations remarquables au XXe siècle
Cet ouvrage présente une synthèse des inondations remarquables recensées en France en 2011, à l’occasion de l’application de la Directive européenne sur les inondations. Il permet de disposer d’éléments d’information sur environ 175 inondations et couvre une période de plus de deux cents ans, de 1770 à 2011, avec plus de la moitié des événements après 1980. Il complète ainsi utilement la précédente synthèse nationale réalisée par Champion (1858-1864).
The Routledge Handbook of Disaster Risk Reduction Including Climate Change Adaptation
The Routledge Handbook of Disaster Risk Reduction Including Climate Change Adaptation aims to provide an overview and critique of the current state of knowledge, policy, and practice, encouraging engagement, and reflection on bringing the two sectors together. This long-awaited and welcomed volume makes a compelling case that a common research agenda and a series of practical policies and policy recommendations can and should be put in place. Over 40 contributions explore DRR including CCA in five parts. The first part presents and interrogates much of the typical vocabulary seen in DRR including CCA, not only pointing out the useful and not-so-useful dimensions, but also providing alternati...
