Recenzje

"Watson provides an erudite and revealing analysis on international disaster management by sensitizing us to the politics of disasters, the constitutive power of the international order and its complex casual relation with disaster management. Impeccably researched and clearly written, this book is a must read for undergraduates as well as the seasoned academic." — Simon Hollis, Swedish Defence University
