description | This article examines the international policy and institutional frameworks
for response to natural and man-made disasters occurring in the Danube basin
and the Tisza sub-basin, two transnational basins. Monitoring and response to
these types of incidents have historically been managed separately. We
discuss whether the policy distinctions in response to natural and man-made
disasters remain functional given recent international trends toward holistic
response to both kinds of disasters. We suggest that these distinctions are
counterproductive, outdated, and ultimately flawed, illustrate some of the
specific gaps in the Danube and the Tisza, and conclude by proposing an
integrated framework for disaster response in the Danube basin and Tisza
sub-basin. |
