Toote kirjeldus: Catastrophic Incentives: Why Our Approaches to Disasters Keep Falling Short

"As the frequency and severity of national and global disasters mount, little attention is being paid to the efficacy of the systems in place for dealing with this reality. Individual programs are tweaked in response to events-modifications to flood insurance regulations, improved building codes to withstand earthquakes, federal support for pandemic vaccines-but considerations of the overall model for implementation are almost entirely lacking. This book argues that the problem is much larger than just fixing response policy: systemic dysfunction in the very systems we use to build resilience actually steer us away from it. The incentive structures of electoral politics to prioritize short-term goals, donor relationships among non-governmental organizations that dictate program priorities, and even the way academic institutions incentivize research into grant-awarding fields all make society vulnerable to disasters like public health crises and hurricanes. Drawing on recent and contemporary examples fromaround the world, including COVID-19, Jeffrey Schlegelmilch and Ellen Carlin show that an understanding how and why these structures work and do not work to foster resilience can help lead us toward more meaningful approaches to recovery when catastrophestrikes".
Examining twenty years of disasters from 9/11 to COVID-19, Jeff Schlegelmilch and Ellen Carlin show how flawed incentive structures make the world more vulnerable when catastrophe strikes.
Societies are vulnerable to any number of potential disasters: earthquakes, hurricanes, infectious diseases, terrorist attacks, and many others. Even though the dangers are often clear, there is a persistent pattern of inadequate preparation and a failure to learn from experience. Before disasters, institutions pay insufficient attention to risk; in the aftermath, even when the lack of preparation led to a flawed response, the focus shifts to patching holes instead of addressing the underlying problems.Examining twenty years of disasters from 9/11 to COVID-19, Jeff Schlegelmilch and Ellen Carlin show how flawed incentive structures make the world more vulnerable when catastrophe strikes. They explore how governments, the private sector, nonprofits, and academia behave before, during, and after crises, arguing that standard operational and business models have produced dysfunction. Catastrophic Incentives reveals troubling patterns about what does and does not matter to the institutions that are responsible for dealing with disasters. The short-termism of electoral politics and corporate decision making, the funding structure of nonprofits, and the institutional dynamics shaping academic research have all contributed to a failure to build resilience.Offering a comprehensive and incisive look at disaster governance, Catastrophic Incentives provides timely recommendations for reimagining systems and institutions so that they are better equipped to manage twenty-first-century threats.
