 Stress Testing the USA: Public Policy and Reaction to Disaster Events by John Rennie Short English | EPUB | 2021 | 192 Pages | ISBN : 3030659984 | 0.3 MB Stress tests highlight a system's weak spots.

While some of the case studies in this book show that induced collective action can lead to cost-effective, community-centric and empirically grounded rural development initiatives, other case studies show that spontaneous collective action, based on indigenous social capital, can result in resource preservation, positive development outcomes, and resistance to the excesses engendered by conventional development.
