This paper examines the history and structure of disaster response, reconstruction and preparedness in Pakistan since 1947, and in particular the interesting balance of power between national and local state capacity on the one hand, and military and civilian authority on the other.
Pakistan's recent disasters are covered in depth, comparing and contrasting the responses provided by the state and international actors, including donors, the UN and INGOs; lessons learned, and ideas on the way forward for Pakistan in disaster management.
