Little attention, however, has been directed to the social relations that emerge from and respond to such phenomena. This paper closes the gap by investigating the emergence, impact, and limitations of the civic ecosystem that responded to the earthquakes in northwest Syria in 2023, an area already affected by protracted armed conflict, mass displacement, and humanitarian emergency. We combine ideas from complex adaptive systems theory, civic ecosystems scholarship, and the literature on compound crises to analyse primary data and evidence collected through key informant interviews, a focus group discussion, and participatory observation. The paper contends that compound crises present distinctive challenges and opportunities that civic ecosystems are particularly adept at addressing and exploiting. We show how they evolve through adaptive cycles of learning and innovation across multiple co-occurring shocks. One implication of the argument is the need to apply systems theory to understand how systems can tackle, rather than only produce, complex social problems such as compound crises.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"50 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13593573/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149018319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Focusing on the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, as a recent and concentrated example of securitised aid delivery, it develops the concept of calibrated survival governance to explain how access to life-sustaining resources is organised through spatial concentration, administrative procedures, and securitised delivery systems. The study uses these sources to pinpoint recurring patterns across civilian experience, practitioner accounts, expert interpretation, and documentary evidence, rather than claiming statistical representativeness. The findings identify four interrelated mechanisms shaping access to survival: multi-sectoral deprivation; risk-conditioned access to aid; bureaucratic regulation of availability; and militarised organisation of delivery. The article argues that these patterns are not fully captured by explanations centred only on logistical breakdown, scarcity, or institutional dysfunction. While such factors remain important, the Gaza case shows how humanitarian systems can also operate as infrastructures that mediate who can access assistance, where, when, and under what conditions. By conceptualising these dynamics as calibrated survival governance, the article contributes to scholarship on humanitarian power, access, and siege governance, and offers a framework for analysing aid in protracted, siege-like environments beyond Gaza.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"50 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149012508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Strengthening OCB is essential for CRT development through the integration of internal resources and external support. Drawing on resource dependence theory and the resource-based view, this study develops an integrated theoretical framework to examine OCB in CRTs. Using descriptive statistics and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), the study analyses data from 816 teams across China through a national survey. The findings yield two key insights. First, the descriptive analysis documents substantial variation in the geographical distribution, organisational scale, and network integration of CRTs, providing the empirical context for examining their heterogeneous capacity building configurations. Second, and more significantly, the fsQCA results show that high OCB arises from configurations of internal and external resources. Some conditions are substitutable, whereas professional competence remains the core condition for absorbing and converting external resources into OCB. This research contributes to the literature on OCB in disaster management and offers practical implications for strengthening the development of CRTs.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"50 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148892382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sector is thus striving to promote a more inclusive approach to aid delivery through localisation. Existing literature largely focuses on power imbalances between international and local actors. However, power imbalances among local actors can also undermine localisation efforts, meaning that affected communities do not always support or benefit from a shift in power to national and local actors. In this paper, we present a most-different case comparison of the refugee response in Turkey and the Hurricane Maria response in Dominica, drawing on 110 interviews. We argue that dynamics of paternalism and politicisation among local actors in the same country can undermine localisation's goal of providing inclusive and needs-based assistance. When funders do not account for such dynamics, we posit, localisation can reinforce, rather than alleviate, inequality and marginalisation.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"50 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/disa.70069","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148760954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper advances our empirical understanding of volunteer contributions to long-term disaster recovery. The use of semi-structured interviews with volunteers who provide disaster recovery support, stakeholders who collaborate with volunteers, and individuals who received recovery support services from volunteers allowed us to identify effective approaches that resonated with and meaningfully aided disaster-affected people. To support individuals and families through the challenging and overwhelming recovery process, volunteers extended relational, compassionate, and agile support. By adopting a long-term perspective focused on housing recovery, rather than engaging in a crisis response role, volunteers were able to set and manage realistic expectations concerning service delivery. Volunteers utilised both their local connections and organisational links to collaborate and communicate, confirming the need to look at the broader context within which they operate.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"50 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13442999/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148680476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on a systematic literature review, programme analysis, and field-based observation, it proposes three operational approaches to the HDP nexus, integrated, nexus-sensitive, and coordinated, which often appear in hybrid forms. Building on Paul Howe's (2019) ‘bundles and arrays’ framework, the typology moves the focus from individual project design to broader organisational strategies, institutional mandates, contextual realities, and trade-offs shaping nexus practice. The analysis situates this within a decade of nexus discourse and implementation, addressing current pressures such as shrinking aid budgets and the integration of climate and displacement agendas, while examining their implications for operational practice. Rather than pursuing a universal model, the paper argues that effective practice resists standardisation, emerging instead from negotiation across shifting mandates, evolving priorities, and diverse contexts, offering a typology to guide context-specific operational choices.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"50 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13392574/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148563253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, they are often deprioritised as international actors' partners of choice in the well-established humanitarian system of the Philippines. This paper illustrates how they navigate vertical social ties with international humanitarian organisations to enhance their resilience in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. It examines whether strengthening the linking social capital of local women's organisations with international humanitarian non-governmental organisations can: improve women's ability to access resources in disasters; challenge the power dynamic in such a way that women are able to engage meaningfully in decision making and attain an equal footing in the partnership; and increase the capacity of women to build community resilience as an outcome of improved access and meaningful engagement. The study engaged 10 leaders of the National Rural Women's Coalition (PKKK) in semi-structured interviews and applied a social constructionist, feminist standpoint framework to the analysis. It found that rural women navigate asymmetrical power dynamics in creative ways and value partnership behaviours that demonstrate equitability and true accompaniment.","PeriodicalId":48088,"journal":{"name":"Disasters","volume":"50 3","pages":"e70057"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148018184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using local press reports, municipal ordinances, and interviews with key figures, the study reconstructs the decision-making processes involved and identifies critical leadership practices. The findings demonstrate that differences in preparedness, coordination, and post-event trajectories are significantly impacted by the experience and professional background of leaders, as well as their capacity to make decisions in circumstances characterised by uncertainty and time pressure. By isolating leadership practices under constant structural conditions, the study makes a valuable contribution to disaster research by specifying how local agency shapes responses and learning in multi-level disaster governance.
