Recensioner i media

“Disasterland is a great book not only for scholars interested in international organisations, transnational professionals and disaster risk reduction, but also practitioners, as it offers to bring practical reflexivity in the work of disaster professionals. … the book is accessible to a wide range of audiences and avoids academic jargon as much as possible, while leading the reader through an intellectual journey into the work of disaster professionals ‘behind the scenes’.” (Kari De Pryck,European Review of International Studies ERIS, Vol. 8, 2021)
