The Fukushima nuclear accident and the People's Tribunal on Nuclear Power / Tanaka Yuki -- Them versus us : Japanese and international reporting of the Fukushima nuclear crisis / David McNeill -- The evolution of disaster volunteering in Japan : from Kobe to Tohoku / Simon Avenell -- Religious responses to natural disasters : from Hurricane Katrina to the great East Japan earthquake / Brian Victoria -- Chinese reactions to disasters in Japan : from the great Kanto earthquake to the great East Japan earthquake / Yang Biao -- Bombs bursting in air : state and citizen responses to the US firebombing and atomic bombing of Japan / Mark Selden -- Searching reality in virtuality : fantasy as a way out for the 21st-century Japan / Yau Shuk-ting, Kinnia -- Who killed our children? : the anatomy of a protest film / Paul Pickowicz -- The unsettled hearts and souls : aftershock of the great Sichuan earthquake / Lee Yee-chong -- The making of a Cantonese popular song amidst national crises in China : from Jiangjun ling to "Once upon a time in China" / Yu Siu-wah -- Re-establishing the national identity through re-evaluating a nation's past : a university's effort of recovery from the war in late 1990s Cambodia / Nishimura Masao -- From Typhoon Ondoy to the unnamed monsoon (2009-2012) : policy reforms and challenges in Philippine disaster management system / Benigno Balgos -- Who protects our lives? : managing crises and social security in socialist Laos and Japan / Odajima Rie.

"The Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011 left the entire world in a state of shock. The international community was unable to fathom how a major economic power, with one of the most extensive natural disaster preparedness programs in the world, could be laid bare to such destruction. Even other highly developed countries began questioning their own ability to handle natural disasters. Different nations have faced disasters of varying intensity throughout history, yet it is in the best interests of the global community to share experiences and wisdom in order to minimize damage wrought by future catastrophes. Based on conference proceedings presented at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in November 2012, Natural Disaster and Reconstruction in Asian Economies offers leading insight into and viewpoints on disasters from scholars and journalists working in Japan, China, the United States, and Southeast Asia. Yau focuses on a broader scope of disasters, such as political, economic, social, cultural, and environmental crises, as well as psychological traumas. This work gathers together international wisdom from a variety of perspectives in the hope that nations will be better able to manage future disasters and their economic and cultural fallout"--
