Resilience and Recovery in Asian Disasters: Community Ties, Market Mechanisms, and Governance
This book grew out of ERIA’s research project entitled “Economic and Welfare
Impacts of Disasters in East Asia and Policy Responses” in FY 2011–2012. We
hope that it will improve the understanding of the impacts of disasters on produc-
tion, demands, regional development, and welfare captured by income, poverty and
health outcomes. It does so through in-depth analyses involving qualitative and
quantitative methods at the community, regional, national, and international levels.
The contents of all the chapters of this book were presented in two regional
workshops held in Jakarta, Indonesia, and Bangkok, Thailand, in 2011 and 2012.
Finally, ERIA is hopeful that this book will contribute to a better understanding
of the disaster risks, their impacts on welfare, agriculture, food security, production
networks, regional economies, and the role of community ties, market mechanisms,
and governance in mitigating the risks in many East Asian economies and beyond.
