ABSTRACT

I aim to advance the governance of disasters by making it correspond with cosmopolitised reality. Following Ulrich Beck, this correspondence is essential for handling disasters in a constructive way because cosmopolitised reality does not simply challenge existing institutional settings; it reflexively undermines them. I achieve my aim by intervening into a distinct part of the disaster governance discourse, the UN Disaster Risk Reduction Framework discourse. Grounded in a systematic analysis of this discourse, I identify the concept ‘systemic risk’ as a discursive hook to introduce a new concept, ‘planetary disaster’. ‘Planetary disaster’ inscribes the distinctly integrated nature of cosmopolitised reality into the idea of ‘disaster’. With that, it opens new horizons in imagining disaster governance and its institutions.

摘要

我的目标是通过使灾害与世界化现实相适应来推进灾害治理。继乌尔里希贝克之后，这种通信对于以建设性方式处理灾难至关重要，因为世界主义现实不仅挑战现有的制度环境；它反射性地破坏了它们。我通过干预灾害治理论述的一个独特部分，即联合国减少灾害风险框架论述来实现我的目标。基于对这一论述的系统分析，我将“系统性风险”这一概念确定为引入一个新概念“行星灾难”的论述挂钩。“行星灾难”将世界主义现实的明显整合性质铭刻在“灾难”的概念中。有了它，它为想象灾害治理及其制度开辟了新的视野。
