Penser la vulnérabilité dans un contexte de globalisation des risques grâce aux échelles spatiales et temporelles
Hazard and risk studies rarely consider the issue of scale.

| Summary: | Hazard and risk studies rarely consider the issue of scale. A focus on physical events and impact approach leads to the conception and management of damaging processes on the scale of elements at risk. Academic works struggle to integrate the spatiality and temporality of risk and crisis. This paper argues that drawing upon the notion of vulnerability allows for a multiscalar and, hence, more thorough, approach in terms of space and time. However, this approach is also challenged by the globalization of certain threats. The transformation of these threats into global and systemic risks calls for a new conceptual framework. Thus, this paper intends to give due consideration to the spatialities and temporalities of “global risk” in order to consider vulnerability both from a cross-scale and a transcalar perspective. |
