Disaster Politics and Policies in the Americas: New Research
Fri, September 11, 10:00 to 11:30am MDT (10:00 to 11:30am MDT), TBASession Submission Type: Full Paper Panel
Session Description
This panel presents new and innovative scholarship on disaster politics and policies. Disasters can catalyze political and government policy changes. They open windows of opportunities for policy innovations and formation, affect attitudes and opinions regarding political trust, risks, and disaster risk reduction, and can alter the political trajectories of nation-states. Indeed, disasters are “natural” social science laboratories or experiments. They provide political scientists with opportunities to study a range of political phenomena in suddenly altered environments.
