“Acts of Gods or Governments?: Disasters and Post-disaster Reconstruction as an Issue of Governance in Urban Nepal”-Lecture by Shana Scogin, Political Science PhD candidate
Whose responsibility is it to prepare for and rebuild after a ‘natural’ disaster? And who do urban residents trust most to protect and rebuild their community? Using novel data, Scogin theorizes that Nepali urban residents believe post-disaster preparation and reconstruction to be a collective good, the provision of which is the responsibility of the state.
