Area of Science:

  • Political Science
  • International Relations
  • Disaster Management

Background:

  • Hurricane Katrina's 2005 devastation highlighted challenges in disaster response.
  • International aid offers potential for diplomatic engagement, termed 'disaster diplomacy'.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine Hurricane Katrina as a case study for disaster diplomacy.
  • To analyze how disaster-related activities influence diplomatic gains and foreign policy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of past disaster diplomacy studies.
  • Categorization of case studies using a new typology (propinquity, aid relationship, level, purpose).
  • Contextual analysis of Hurricane Katrina within US foreign policy and international responses.

Main Results:

  • Disaster diplomacy literature provides a framework for analysis.
  • Hurricane Katrina's aftermath involved complex interactions between domestic and international responses.
  • Factors beyond disaster aid significantly shape diplomatic outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Hurricane Katrina's disaster diplomacy illustrates that non-disaster factors often outweigh aid activities in foreign policy.
  • The study suggests disaster-related activities alone are insufficient to guarantee diplomatic gains.
