The global ecological crisis is increasingly manifesting itself in different regions of the world, here in East Asia and Europe. It produces multi-situated inequalities on a global scale, drawing new geographical, climatic, social, and moral boundaries in an "ecological cosmopolitanism." Democratic and authoritarian governments put in place biopolitical apparatuses for societal reinvention. Individuals develop social, economic and emotional capabilities for survival, recovery, and mobilization in the post-disaster process. In Western Europe, environmental and disaster sociology has been built around a Western way of thinking about the relationship between risks, disaster, and modernity. Japanese and Chinese sociologists/anthropologists highlighted non-Western approaches to disasters. This book is a contribution to the post-Western sociology in a cross-pollinization process where "Western" and "non-Western" knowledge about disaster do interact, articulated through cosmovisions to move towards dialogical between East Asia and Europe.

Laurence Roulleau-Berger, Ph.D. and Ph.D. Supervisor in Sociology, is Research Director Emeritus at CNRS (French National Center of Scientific Research) at Ecole Normale Superieure of Lyon, France. Her research focuses on Post-Western Sociology, sociology of migration, work, and disaster. She was co-editor with Li, Kim and Yazawa of the Handbook of Post-Western Sociology. From East Asia to Europe (Brill, 2023).

Yoshiyuki Yama, Ph.D. in Sociology, earned his doctorate from Kwansei Gakuin University, where he is now Professor, Dean of the School of Human Welfare Studies, and Director of the Institute of Disaster Area Revitalization, Regrowth and Governance. His research focuses on the sociology of disaster and disaster risk management, especially in depopulated communities. He is the editor of An Invitation to East Asian Disaster Humanities (2025).
