Abstract

Bien que l'historiographie de la science écologique et de l'écologie politique se soit enrichie ces années dernières de nombreuses études qui en ont mis en lumière les sources multiples, il s'en faut de beaucoup que tout ait été dit, notamment en ce qui concerne la genèse de l'écologie politique. Cet article tend à établir que le politologue, économiste et prospectiviste français Bertrand de Jouvenel fut, dès 1957, l'un des premiers sinon le premier à avoir lancé l'expression d'"écologie politique" dans le sens qui lui est actuellement conféré et à avoir proposé que l'économie politique s'intègre dans cette discipline plus vaste et plus fondamentale.

Abstract

Raging floods, massive storms and cataclysmic earthquakes: every year up to 340 million people are affected by these and other disasters, which cause loss of life and damage to personal property, agriculture, and infrastructure. So what can be done? The key to understanding the causes of disasters and mitigating their impacts is the concept of 'vulnerability'. Mapping Vulnerability analyses 'vulnerability' as a concept central to the way we understand disasters and their magnitude and impact. Written and edited by a distinguished group of disaster scholars and practitioners, this book is a counterbalance to those technocratic approaches that limit themselves to simply looking at disasters as natural phenomena. Through the notion of vulnerability, the authors stress the importance of social processes and human-environmental interactions as causal agents in the making of disasters. They critically examine what renders communities unsafe - a condition, they argue, that depends primarily on the relative position of advantage or disadvantage that a particular group occupies within a society's social order. The book also looks at vulnerability in terms of its relationship to development and its impact on policy and people's lives, through consideration of selected case studies drawn from Africa, Asia and Latin America. Mapping Vulnerability is essential reading for academics, students, policymakers and practitioners in disaster studies, geography, development studies, economics, environmental studies and sociology.
