The notion of ‘disaster justice’, that is that governments have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable seems premised on a particular conception of the state that conforms to a Western liberal democratic model. Indeed, the failure of the state to... Read More about Blame, responsibility and agency: ‘Disaster justice’ and the state in the Philippines.
