Abstract:
Risk management nowadays is shifting due to uncertainty, from the model of disaster or risk scenarios to that of building capacity to cope with and govern any unforeseen adverse eventuality. As part of an effort to reflect on the messages of Chapters 1-7, readers are reminded that the failures of management ventures are due to the misidentification, or inability to regulate, some of the critical risk factors in relation to some of the exposed individual and/or collective entities (individuals, households, social groups, firms, regional economies, socio-ecological systems, socio-technological systems). All of this means that risk and disaster management programmes (from global to local scales) only have a chance of success if they are recognised as policy prescriptions and at the same time designed as systemic undertakings.
