Über das Buch

From pandemic disease, to climate change-related disasters, to cyberattacks, today we face an increasing array of catastrophic threats. Despite their diversity they are approached in common terms: as future events that threaten to disrupt the vital, vulnerable systems modern life depends upon. In “The Government of Emergency” Collier and Lakoff tell the story of how this now taken-for-granted way of understanding and managing emergencies arose and how vulnerability was defined as a particular kind of problem, that continues to structure the handling of future emergencies.

Der Book Launch findet auf Englisch statt.
