Abstract

For a disaster event that shaped the international humanitarian system of the 21st century (for example, following the 2004 tsunami, the United Nations reformed its humanitarian architecture, which was implemented the following year after the Kashmir earthquake), the retrospective analysis of humanitarian relief and recovery assistance after the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 remains woefully inadequate. This book is a commendable effort to fill the gap. Published nearly a decade and a half after the event, it provides a longitudinal view of the effectiveness of post-tsunami relief and recovery assistance. The book also broaches some important questions related to post-disaster aid, but stops short of answering them.
