Sociology, Normative Pluralism, and Post-disaster Recovery: The Case of the Philippines

Law, Normative Pluralism, and Post-Disaster Recovery

  • 202 Accesses

Abstract

This chapter argued why the sociological normative pluralist perspective is appropriate for analyzing the unintended effects of enforcing post-disaster recovery projects in disaster-prone countries with multiple legal and social normative systems, rigid bureaucratic regulations, and high red-tape and corruption indices like the Philippines. Firstly, it traced broadly the development of disaster research in sociology and the substantive trends in theorizing hazards and disasters. Secondly, it clarified the distinction between legal pluralism and normative pluralism in socio-legal studies and explains the significance of the normative pluralist framework in evaluating the success and failure of post-disaster recovery projects. Thirdly, it highlighted the sociological significance of examining social structure in disaster events as well as the consequences of a multiplicity of actors and normative orders in post-disaster housing projects. It contended that developing countries with high legal and normative pluralism and complex social systems, such as the Philippines, are more likely to encounter significant deviations in implementing post-disaster housing projects.
