Disaster Studies The Palgrave Disaster Studies series was created in support of the analysis of the social impacts and consequences of hazards and disasters on an international scale. Because it is no longer entirely appropriate to restrict this field of inquiry to Sociology, Disaster Studies also looks to scholars in Anthropology, Social Psychology, Political Science, Economics, Public Policy and Administration, and Geography to support its endeavor. This interdisciplinary scope includes disaster-generated demands such as disaster preparedness, response, reconstruction, recovery, mitigation, high reliability organizations and networks, and collective emergent behaviors such as rumors, protests, spontaneous evacuations, and the convergence of people and materials to the site of disasters. Other topics of interest are studies of the social consequences and long-term effects of catastrophes such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2011 earthquake and tsunamis in the northern coast of Japan, as well as the validity of disaster statistics and the economic impact of catastrophic events. As the concept of catastrophe gains increasing attention from the international scholarly community, this timely series provides a home for the most innovative work in Disaster Studies today.
