The Routledge Handbook of Disaster Mitigation and Preparedness covers the two pre-disaster stages of the disaster management cycle by presenting a comprehensive, cutting-edge overview of their numerous elements.

The handbook, which is a companion to the Routledge Handbook of Disaster Response and Recovery (2025), examines the foundations of mitigation and preparedness and, in doing so, advances theories, methods, and debates surrounding the two stages. The objective is to discuss major ongoing and emerging issues that are confronted by governments, communities, households, and other stakeholders. Leveraging a transdisciplinary lens, the topics in the Handbook are investigated at both the local and global scales and in terms of specific disaster types to address the various contexts in which disaster mitigation and preparedness activities are conducted.

This book is an essential guide and reference not only for scholars engaged in disaster research, but also for undergraduate and graduate students, policy makers, disaster managers, international and supranational agencies, and humanitarian and volunteer organizations engaged in disaster management.

Women Politicians Online examines the complex relationship between gender, politics and digital media, focusing on how women politicians both navigate and are shaped by online platforms.

Taking a mixed methods approach, the book examines the disproportionate hostility women politicians face online, strategies for curating their political image and the influence of satire and digital news on public perceptions. It forwards a novel framework for understanding how women politicians are depicted on and treated via digital media, while balancing this against women politicians' use of digital tools to project authenticity, challenge gendered expectations, and reclaim political communication from traditionally masculine norms.

Despite more recent attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion at all levels of the U.S. government, public sector workforces remain diverse, leaving public organizations and the field that studies them, public administration, to seek ways to maintain a dedication to social equity, while moving away polarizing terminology. Managing Diversity in Public Sector Workforces, Third Edition provides practitioners and students preparing to enter the public sector workplace with an understanding of the important role of diversity in government organizations, as well as up-to-date, practical tools and strategies for managing employees well.

The book illustrates the challenges and best practices of managing a diverse workforce in the public sector, particularly the efforts of the Trump Administration to prohibit the use of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Using jargon-free, descriptive language, the book raises awareness, understanding and appreciation for one of the most critical human resources management functions. New to this third edition:

• Exploration of the continued importance to DEI programs, and their implications for the promotion of democratic goals.
• Analysis of the Trump Administration's retraction of commitment to DEI in the federal government, and a parallel examination of diversity efforts at the state and local levels of government.
• Assessment of the 2023 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard and UNC, and the implications of this ruling for government employers.
• Evaluation of demographic shifts in the nation's labor workforces and the unfulfilled promises of preparing the workforce for change.

Managing Diversity in Public Sector Workforces, Third Edition will be of interest to students of public administration and public personnel management, and it is essential reading for all those involved in managing public organizations.

The definitive story of Dominion v. Fox, the battle over election lies that changed the future of democracy

Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News Network is the watershed media case of the century. After an onslaught of attacks by several Fox News hosts and guests insisting that Dominion's voting machines were rigged to steal the 2020 presidential election from Donald Trump, the previously little-known voting technology company decided to fight back. Over the next two years, their libel litigation laid bare the inner workings of the seemingly unassailable Fox Corporation and the thoughts of the media conglomerate's most high-profile stars, guests, and executives.

On the morning the trial was set to begin, the parties reached an unprecedented settlement of $787.5 million. The media lamented that secrets from Fox's top talent and owners would never come to light, but now the full, shocking truth has finally been revealed. Terrible Stuff Damaging Everybody exposes the true story of the election lies that shook Fox News and the nation. Media lawyer and author Ian Rosenberg transforms thousands of pages of legal documents into a compelling behind-the-scenes narrative. He presents the saga as a riveting three act drama that answers the vital questions: why Fox News broadcasted flagrantly false claims about election fraud; what the legal action uncovered about Fox's power structure and the actual malice standard; and how the aftermath will fundamentally impact the future of libel law, the media, and our democracy.

Terrible Stuff Damaging Everybody provides a clear-eyed, expert analysis of this history-making lawsuit, and what it means for our country today.

Far more than a contractual step, commissioning shapes what is evaluated, whose voices matter, and how evidence informs democratic governance. The Power of Commissioning: Enabling Democratic Evaluation brings long overdue attention to this influential yet often overlooked dimension of evaluation practice.

Positioning commissioners as civic and political actors, the book shows how their choices, from problem framing and terms of reference to team selection, management, and use, can either reinforce technocratic routines or actively promote inclusion, transparency, equity, and meaningful public learning. Drawing on comparative empirical cases, it offers one of the first integrated frameworks for democratic commissioning, complete with practical principles, rubrics, and clear "dos and don'ts" that commissioners can apply directly in real systems. The volume also advances a pioneering competency model for commissioners and documents innovative capacity-building initiatives that treat them as knowledge brokers and democratic agents, an area largely absent from existing evaluation guidance.

Featuring contributions from leading scholars and practitioners in the field, The Power of Commissioning provides both conceptual depth and actionable tools. It is an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, evaluators, and commissioning professionals committed to strengthening democratic practice through evaluation.

The Market Impact of Wartime Political Rhetoric: Voices of the Russian-Ukrainian War offers a striking new account of how political speeches became an economic force during the first year of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Focusing on 2022, it shows how public addresses by Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky influenced energy markets, investor expectations, inflation, and currency stability across a deeply interconnected global economy.

This book draws on forty major wartime speeches and a rigorous analysis of market reactions, the book traces how rhetoric moved beyond propaganda and became a real driver of financial behaviour. It examines the impact of these speeches on leading U.S. oil and gas companies, while also exploring their wider effects on the Russian ruble, the Ukrainian hryvnia, and inflationary pressures in Russia, Ukraine, and the United States.Timely, original, and highly relevant, this study reveals how political language can shape economic outcomes in moments of extreme geopolitical crisis. By bringing together war, diplomacy, and financial markets, it offers a fresh perspective on the power of rhetoric in the contemporary international order.

The Market Impact of Wartime Political Rhetoric: Voices of the Russian-Ukrainian War will appeal to students and scholars and readers interested in Europe, North America, international politics, energy security, and the economic effects of war.

AI Use Cases for Public Diplomacy reveals how AI is reshaping the landscape of public diplomacy-and how it can aid diplomats in the contest for hearts and minds.

Every day, embassies monitor narratives, craft messages for divided publics, counter disinformation, respond to crises, and build coalitions across cultural and linguistic divides. These are high-stakes tasks, performed under time pressure, with imperfect information. Now, AI is transforming that challenge. Retired U.S. Foreign Service Officer Dr. Don Kilburg draws on more than two decades of frontline diplomatic experience. Through ten richly detailed chapters, a consistent narrative framework (the fictional Republic of Z), and nearly two hundred sources, he shows how AI can expand diplomatic reach, sharpen timing, and sustain credibility while confronting the ethical dilemmas head-on.

This book is essential reading for diplomats, embassy staff, politicians, and public communicators who are ready to act on the greatest lesson the AI revolution teaches us: credibility can no longer be faked, only earned.

This book critically examines how states have leveraged the 2018 UN Global Compacts on Migration and Refugees to advance their geopolitical and strategic interests. Through a detailed analysis, it explores the emerging norm of state responsibility for managing migration while exposing the gaps, contradictions, and silences surrounding key issues such as non-refoulement, internal displacement, and climate migration. More than five years after the adoption of the Global Compacts, the authors provide a thought-provoking reflection on the assumptions, logics, and rhetoric underpinning these agreements and their implementation by states and international organizations.

This book is an essential resource for students, scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in the fields of migration studies, international relations, and human rights as well as those seeking to understand the complex interplay between migration diplomacy and global governance.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Geopolitics.

Policy Process Frameworks in Practice offers a fresh and critical look at the main frameworks used to study policy processes, with a unique focus on their application in Brazil and Latin America.

Rather than simply presenting theories, it examines how these models are used in practice, highlighting both their strengths and their limits. By shifting attention to the Global South, the book challenges the idea that frameworks developed in the Northern Hemisphere are only applied elsewhere, showing instead how they are reshaped and enriched in new contexts. Each chapter follows a clear and accessible structure: a concise overview of the framework, a systematic review of its reception in Brazilian and Latin American scholarship, and a critical discussion of whether and how causal explanations are employed. This approach provides readers with both conceptual clarity and empirical depth, while also pointing to gaps and opportunities for future research.

Bringing a critical Global South perspective, this book challenges established policy frameworks, broadens international debates, and provides scholars with refined tools to understand how policies take shape and change.

Written in the form of letters to the people rallying in the "resistance" for freedom and democracy, Charles Derber details elements of popular action to defeat the authoritarianism of President Trump and his allied corporate oligarchs.

Letters to the Resistance draws on Derber's experience in the civil rights movement and mobilization against the war in Vietnam to offer lessons that help protesters sustain resistance. Each letter imparts essential lessons of resistance learned by previous generations, highlighting the necessity of building resistance networks, confronting capitalism, and the use of populism and electoralism - emphasizing that true democracy cannot be created by returning to life before Trump.

Addressed to students, activists, and the general public, these letters detail the fundamentals of resistance to not only defeat Trump but change the conditions that gave rise to fascism.

Why do we care about listening? This collection examines listening in various political contexts, illuminating its profound role in democratic communication. Listening is not merely a passive act; it expresses, relies on, and alters power. If we understand listening and ignoring to be acts of political power, then it bears asking what a specifically democratic practice of listening entails.

This volume brings together philosophical, observational, and experimental research to investigate when and how listening takes place, the obstacles to effective listening, and its implications for democratic representation, deliberation, and policymaking. The chapters employ diverse methodological approaches-from meta-analyses to field experiments-to provide a systematic account of the antecedents and consequences of political listening in contemporary democracy. The studies help explain how and why listening matters, particularly during times of democratic stress, and reveal how listening shapes voter confidence, reduces in-group bias, and influences legislative engagement with constituents.

Essential reading for scholars and practitioners in political science, communication studies, democratic theory, and public policy, this volume closes the gap between normative political theory and empirical research, providing a comprehensive framework for assessing listening as a democratic practice. The essays in this volume were originally published as a special issue of Political Communication.

From Silos to Ecologies offers a new way to understand how knowledge is generated, interpreted, and used to address today's most complex social challenges. It introduces the concept with clarity and purpose, showing why single studies, narrow methods, or rigid evaluation systems are no longer sufficient for problems shaped by complexity, uncertainty, and rapid change. The book also points to issues of evaluation capture and the problematic levels of independence.

Drawing on realist evaluation, in which real-world problems, rugged landscapes, and underlying theories of solutions, serve as starting points for testing--as well as systems thinking, and practice--the book argues for approaches that are more adaptive and grounded in real-world contexts. Humility and the fallibility of knowledge generation are part of that approach. Through contributions from leading scholars and practitioners, the volume demonstrates how different forms of evidence can work together to support better decisions in areas such as maternal health, brain health, poverty reduction, and community-led innovation. Case studies from Canada, China, and India illustrate how an ecology of evidence helps practitioners navigate complexity, learn from local contexts, and design interventions that are both effective and sustainable-but are not one-size-fits-all solutions.

A call for transformation runs throughout the book: moving from routine monitoring towards deeper explanation, from bureaucratic systems toward real (and not orchestrated) learning systems, and from isolated interventions toward solutions that reflect the lived realities of communities. From Silos to Ecologies is essential reading for scholars, students, evaluators, policymakers, and anyone seeking more meaningful ways to understand and improve the world around us.

The post-9/11 era saw patriotism transform from somber resolve into jingoistic excess, leaving many to wonder whether love of country inevitably corrupts into tribalism and violence. Critics from Leo Tolstoy to George Kateb have argued that patriotism is inherently dangerous, a relic of a less enlightened age. Yet abandoning patriotism entirely may be worse than the disease.

Why It's OK to Be Patriotic makes a philosophically rigorous case that patriotism, properly conceived, is neither irrational nor harmful-but essential to democratic life. Case argues that patriotism is best understood as love of country rather than mere loyalty, a love directed toward compatriots as participants in a shared political community. Drawing on Aristotle, contemporary philosophy, and hard-won experience, he defends patriotism as a virtue-a golden mean between tribal excess and cosmopolitan detachment-while articulating the patriotic duties of heart and mind required to maintain the civic commons. He tackles the toughest objections head-on: Does patriotism cause war? Does it rest on irrational bias? Can it be reconciled with universal moral principles?

The book culminates in a powerful meditation on America's current crisis. With political violence escalating and talk of "national divorce" gaining traction, Case argues that the only way out is through-not escape from politics, but the difficult practice of loving one's country by learning to love the people in it.

Key features:

• Provides an account of patriotism in terms of love rather than loyalty, distinguishing patriotism from nationalism, jingoism, and tribalism.
• Confronts arguments from critiques of patriotism from Emma Goldman, Leo Tolstoy, and Albert Einstein, as well as from more recent critics such as Simon Keller and George Kateb, showing that patriotism need not be irrational, harmful, or morally blind.
• Offers concrete patriotic duties of heart-mind-including resistance to contempt, epistemic civic virtues, and practices for maintaining the civic commons-that can help repair America's fraying social fabric.
• Draws on Aristotle, contemporary philosophy of love, and virtue ethics while remaining accessible to general readers concerned about their country's future.

Women and Alternative fuer Deutschland (AfD) sheds new light on aspects of women's support for the far right.

Alternative fuer Deutschland (Alternative for Germany, AfD) is the second largest party in Germany following the federal election in February 2025, and, like with its counterparts across Europe and elsewhere, women have been instrumental in securing the AfD's ongoing electoral successes at both a state and federal level. Based on a period of overseas fieldwork during which the author interviewed female AfD members, this book explores how the development of their political subjectivity often intersects with key moments in Germany's history and subsequent socio-political and economic transformations. The author casts a critical feminist eye over the ways in which women negotiate their own understandings of their AfD support which make it consonant with their own lives and experiences.

This book will be of interest to researchers of the far right, German politics, and gender studies.

This book explores the policymaking processes that led to Japan's modern immigration regime, including the rejection of formal immigration policy and its wider implications.

Taking a historical approach, the book identifies the "1990 system"-namely, the reforms Japan's policymakers enacted in and around 1990-as the crucial antecedent to understanding the overall continuity in the country's immigration policy trajectory. Through an actor-focused analysis, this book dissects how and why Japan adopted its seemingly contradictory immigration policy-one that simultaneously accommodates and distances itself from an ever-growing pool of foreign laborers.

Contextualizing the current status quo of immigration in Japan and using rigid historical analysis to anticipate future developments, Japan's Modern Immigration Regime will appeal to policymakers, as well as students and scholars of Japanese politics, labor migration studies, and comparative public policy studies.

The Global South and the Future of World Order presents an analysis of some of the fundamental, new processes in international politics today from a multi-regional perspective originating from the "Global South."

What feasible institutional, normative/cultural, technological, and economic solutions coming from intellectuals from the Global South can be proposed to make the international order more inclusive and better governed and thus more stable, more prosperous, and peaceful? By answering this question, the book innovatively contributes to the explanation of potential directions, depth, consistency, and durability of current shifts in international relations originating in the Global South. Contributions from internationally renowned scholars from different parts of the Global South present politically and culturally diverse perspectives. They explore the political, economic, institutional, and social consequences of the growing influence of the Global South and examine the contested political subjectivities
of the Global South itself. The various policy alternatives to advance institutional, social, financial, technological, security, and cultural interests of the Global South are also discussed.

The Global South and the Future of World Order will be of great interest to students and scholars of political science and international relations. It will also appeal to policymakers and analysts seeking to achieve a better understanding of contemporary global trends.

With a focus on real-world problems, the book argues for new leadership mindsets to tackle the great challenges of our time and will help build an understanding of leadership to address key issues such as climate change, technological advancement, inequality, housing and alienation.

We are hurtling towards apocalypse through a lethal convergence of violence, climate catastrophe and multiple inequalities. Leadership is often seen as the remedy, yet it also produced many of the problems it is asked to solve.

This book rethinks four leadership essentials - resisting, timing, spacing and feeling - outlining an approach that is urgent, inclusive and pragmatic. Drawing on organisation and political studies, geography and social theory, and insights from exemplary global practitioners, Smolovic Jones assembles a survival kit of practices for communities, workplaces, nations and beyond, providing a compelling framework for leading differently in a world that urgently needs it.

In an era dominated by technocratic debates about efficiency, effectiveness and the economy, the fundamental purposes of public policy are too often left unquestioned. This narrow focus risks obscuring the democratic and redistributive aims that give state action its legitimacy.

Drawing on political philosophy and foundational public policy scholarship, this book offers a critical framework for analysing state action beyond the logic of the '3Es'. Through a sustained examination of social and economic policies in Mexico since the 1980s, it traces how neoliberal reforms, extractive institutions and limited forms of participation have shaped exclusionary outcomes. Its analytical toolkit applies to Global South contexts with colonial legacies, weak states and powerful oligarchies.

Written in clear, accessible language, this invaluable book reframes policy evaluation around the questions of what public policies are for and who they are meant to serve, and identifies alternative pathways towards truly inclusive and participatory democracy.

In this hard-hitting book, the Lower Ninth Ward - ground zero for Hurricane Katrina - becomes a microcosm of what happens when white actors venture into black spaces for humanitarian aid.

Through vivid vignettes, Harvey exposes how blacks are often hindered in their efforts to rebuild their neighborhoods by seemingly progressive ideas and color-blind urban narratives.

Addressing the failure of disaster and environmental studies to see black communities as agents, the book demonstrates what critical disaster studies can offer for understandings of race, the environment and diversity.

This is a key contribution to debates on race, including the limitations of 'white allies' in places like Ferguson, Missouri and in the Black Lives Matter Movement.

Women Leaders in Central and Eastern Europe: Organizing, Politics, and the Path to Change is a groundbreaking edited volume that redefines leadership through the lens of women's experiences across a historically and culturally unique region. Drawing on rich, qualitative narratives, the book explores how women have led transformation in politics, public institutions, and organizational life in Central and Eastern Europe. This concise and compelling volume features case studies of individual women leaders, each situated within their country's socio-political context. Highlighting leadership as a practice of meaning-making and collective action, the book challenges dominant Western models centered on hierarchy and individualism. Instead, it offers inspiring accounts of resilience, cooperation, and visionary organizing. Each chapter includes analysis and reflections that bridge personal stories with wider themes in organization and gender studies. Ideal for researchers, scholars, students, and practitioners in organization studies, management, leadership, gender studies, and Central and Eastern European studies, this book is a vital contribution to the global conversation on inclusive and alternative leadership models. It also serves as an invaluable resource for educators and professionals seeking diverse perspectives on organizing and governance.

This book explores how pro-Kremlin media has shaped perceptions of Russia's allies and adversaries during Vladimir Putin's 26 years in power, revealing the hidden strategies and intentions embedded within state-controlled narratives.

Through analysis of Russian media coverage of Ukraine, China, Japan, and Britain, the book uncovers the narratives driving Russia's estrangement from the West, its alliance with China and its war in Ukraine. It contrasts state-aligned television narratives with reporting by Russia's non-state media, revealing a more diverse media landscape than is often acknowledged, at least until the 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Russia's State Media and Foreign Policy, 2000-2024 is an invaluable resource for policymakers, scholars and students studying Russian media, Moscow's foreign policy and Kremlin propaganda techniques.

This book investigates why some foreign powers that initially assist warring parties in civil wars later escalate to direct military involvement.

This volume connects proxy war and direct intervention through a new theoretical framework, Support Escalation Theory, arguing that intervention ("direct support") is risky and costlier than the transfer of resources ("indirect support"), and so is not chosen lightly. Using case studies, including Fascist Italy's involvement in the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s and Russia's intervention in the Donbas in 2014, this book highlights why foreign sponsors prefer to escalate from indirect to direct support: they do so when the time window to affect the conflict and avoid a negative outcome is running out, and the warring party would not be able to use further indirect support that would no longer be helpful. Therefore, foreign sponsors feel the incentive to step in with their own forces. Additional examples test how widely the pattern holds in the 20th and 21st centuries, shedding light on one of the most important-and dangerous-features of modern conflict.

This book will be of much interest to students of civil wars, conflict studies, security studies, and International Relations.

This book explores Turkey's transformation into an active and influential emerging power under the Justice and Development Party (AKP) and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. It argues that populist governance and foreign policy are not separate domains but expressions of a common political logic. Erdogan's populism does not simply shape Turkey's international engagement; it extends into it, producing a distinct form of populist revisionism that reworks regional orders in line with domestically forged antagonisms.

Situating Turkey's transformation within broader global trends, notably the erosion of liberal democratic institutions domestically and the unravelling of the rules-based international order, frames the core inquiry of this study. This analysis provides a sophisticated framework for understanding Turkey's foreign policy within the broader contestation of liberal norms, multilateral institutions, and the very concept of democracy itself, raising crucial questions about the resilience of liberal democracy and the adaptability of the international system in an age of populist ascendancy.

It will appeal to scholars, policymakers, international relations professionals, students, and general readers interested in populism, Turkish politics, and international relations.

An innovative solution to the antidemocratic overreach of the Supreme Court, drawing on lessons from constitutional democracies around the world.

For the foreseeable future, America is stuck with a Supreme Court compromised by a crisis of legitimacy. Beyond expanding presidential power, dismantling voting rights, and protecting other forms of antidemocratic government, the Court continues to usurp lawmaking power that should belong to the people and their elected representatives in a constitutional democracy.

Julie C. Suk offers a novel solution to the problems plaguing the Supreme Court: a Shadow Court. All over the world, shadow governments act as watchdogs for representative democracies, and constitutional courts prevent slides into authoritarianism. Suk shows how Congress can build on these modern models and break the Supreme Court's monopoly on constitutional interpretation by creating a Shadow Court that would decide contested constitutional questions in the abstract before the Supreme Court could rule on them in a concrete case. Ambitious but pragmatic, The Shadow Court offers a hopeful and enduring solution for rescuing democracy in the United States.

This book revisits the period of rapprochement tourism between China and Taiwan from 2008 to 2016, highlighting the role it played in facilitating cultural exchange despite ongoing political tensions.

Contextualizing rapprochement tourism within broader discussions on cross-border tourism in politically sensitive regions, this book proposes a concept of 'cultural geopolitics' and an interdisciplinary framework - Mobility, Morality and Materiality - to offer a fresh perspective on heritage management. It employs tourist interviews, photographs and other visual aids to communicate complex theoretical concepts in an accessible manner. Topics covered include border repoliticization, the role of heritage in national narratives, the commodification of historical figures, and the intersection of spirituality and tourism. The book closes by outlining future directions for research, including difficult heritage management, individualized mobilities, and kinship-based return tourism, before concluding with reflections on sustainable peace and well-being.

This book will interest a range of scholars spanning the social sciences, including critical tourism studies, heritage management, cultural geography, and Chinese studies.

This book explores the role of leadership in shaping places and driving sustainable urban and regional development. Moving beyond the traditional organisational focus of leadership studies, it uses inspiring case studies to show how place-based leadership can become more attuned to local needs, across sectors such as housing, healthcare, creative industries and environmental sustainability.

Addressing societal challenges-urbanisation, inequality and climate resilience-it offers practical strategies for place-centric leadership which drives social value. Bridging theory and practice, this timely resource will inspire academics, policy makers and practitioners to rethink leadership for equitable, thriving communities.
