Reviews

'Disaster Diplomacy is the first publication to provide a detailed, in-depth review incorporating the topics of disasters and politics within a disaster-diplomacy framework.[...] Given this is the first book specifically on Disaster Diplomacy, it represents a highly significant contribution to the disaster and diplomacy-related fields of study. The book narrows its scope to building upon one specific series of investigations (Kelman and Koukis, 2000), yet it does not neglect the vast depth of work which has gone before it, as evidenced by the in-depth reference list. Disaster Diplomacy is well organised with a logical flow which is easy to follow and understand. The author provides practical and well balanced arguments supported by a diverse range of case studies covering the Asian, African, North American and European continents. These will be of extreme benefit to applied researchers, policy and decision makers within the disaster and politics fields.[...]The book successfully presents a balance of arguments, whilst outlining gaps and limitations needing further exploration. As the author himself outlines 'disaster-diplomacy outcomes are never certain'[p149], a statement which in itself necessitates further investigation and study. This book provides a pivotal contribution and a generous baseline upon which further exploration of the disaster-diplomacy field can develop and expand.' Dr Jessica Mercer - Secure Futures. 'Ilan Kelman takes a hard look via theory and case studies at the diplomatic impact of disasters... Kelman offers a sophisticated analysis of the successes and failures of disaster diplomacy since 2000.' Natural Hazards Observer, March 2013
