Critical junctures of a natural disaster: The case of 27F
Abstract
Using the theoretical model offered by historical institutionalism, the paper aims to better understand the public and political reactions in the weeks following the Chilean earthquake of 27 February, 2010. Emphasis is placed on surprise as a key factor in disaster response. In this sense, it is argued that earthquakes are in many ways much less like other natural disasters and much more like terrorist attacks.
