John,
A good primer on governance issues in South Asia, most of which would
underpin any risk reduction framework for that region, is:
UNDP (1999) Human Development in South Asia - The Crisis of Governance.
Oxford University Press.
It surveys political, economic and civic governance issues and has a
chapter on the "social costs of poor governance" which might be relevant
to your work. Unfortunately it is not available online (or at least I
could not find it). There is a copy in the School of Oriental and
African Studies (SOAS) Library.
Thank you for all your work in managing this list. I have found this
list very very helpful.
Best regards,
Amer

Subject: governance: institutional and policy frameworks for risk
reduction
This is a fairly urgent request for assistance. I am collecting academic
work and examples of goood practice on the above topic, to go into a
discussion paper that must be finalised in the next month.
This subject hasn't been discussed much to date, at least in the
published literature, so I'm sure that there is a lot of experience and
analysis that I'm not aware of, so please send me/direct my attention to
anything you can think of that might be relevant, from any country or
disaster context. Material on relevant targets and indicators would also
be very welcome.
Thanks in advance for your help, and best wishes
John
