Communities must have residents who can not only gain access to the resources that they need to rebuild but who can also overcome the collective action problem that characterizes post-disaster relief efforts. Community Revival in the Wake of Disaster argues that entrepreneurs, conceived broadly as individuals who recognize and act on opportunities to promote social change, fill this critical role.

They argue that creating space for entrepreneurs to act after disasters is essential for promoting recovery and fostering resilient communities. 208 pp. Englisch.…
