Unfortunately, we now face a future in which disasters will become more common, more powerful, and--in many cases--more deadly. With increasing populations, climate change, and environmental destruction, our communities may be at greater risk than ever before. When disasters occur in conflict zones, the devastation is compounded. If aid is not distributed fairly among disaster and conflict survivors, new rifts can emerge. Relief groups must be prepared to tread a fine line as they work alongside armed militaries and rebel factions. But there can be an unexpected silver lining: although disasters harm people and communities in conflict areeas, the cooperation and goodwill following these events may jolt the political landscape, bringing renewed opportunities for peace. Relief and reconstruction efforts can build trust among combatants, ultimately even bringing conflicts to an end. This report examines three unique situations in conflict-affected areas following disasters, focusing on Indonesia's Aceh province and Sri Lanka, both affected by the 2004 tsunami, and on the long-contested region of Kashmir, devastated by the 2005 earthquake. The experiences of these regions yield important lessons that clarify the connections between disasters, conflict, development, and peacemaking. 505 0 Summary -- "Unnatural" disasters -- The march toward disaster -- Understanding factors of vulnerability -- Storm clouds and silver linings -- Case study: Aceh : peacemaking after the Tsunami -- Case study: Sri Lanka : a "double blow" to development -- Case study: Kashmir : physical tremor, but no political earthquake -- Creating future opportunities for peace. 504 Includes bibliographical references (p. 43-50) and index. 650 0 Natural disasters |xPolitical aspects. 650 0 Disaster relief |xPolitical aspects. 650 0 Peace-building. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2003003065 650 0 Conflict management. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85030958 650 0 Disaster relief |zIndia |zJammu and Kashmir. 650 0 Disaster relief |zSri Lanka. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009123464 650 0 Disaster relief |zIndonesia |zAceh. 650 0 Earthquakes |zIndia |zJammu and Kashmir. 650 0 Tsunamis |zIndonesia |zAceh. 650 0 Tsunamis |zSri Lanka. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010117197 700 1 Chafe, Zoë. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2007087789 700 1 Mastny, Lisa. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2002001676 710 2 Worldwatch Institute. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78094647 902 sla |bl |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20090114 904 sla |bo |hm |cb |e20090113 914 (OCoLC)ocn153294338 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20221117 |eprocessed |f153294338
