International disaster management organizations help states that are hit by major disaster or faced with serious repercussions due to environmental conditions. They are also involved in mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery of disasters around the world. The organizations work closely with agencies and programs to help countries in reducing hazard vulnerability. They reduce these hazards by, increasing capacity of nations and their citizens. The motivating concepts guiding disaster management are the reduction of harm to life, environment and property, and are largely the same throughout the world. Capacity to carry out this mission is different due to cultural, economic, social and political reasons. International organizations in the course of their workface different concerns, and they always remain under the control of their countries.
Socio-economic and political concerns
Adoption of disaster management policies is difficult in developing countries due to lack of funds. There has also been a problem with coordination between the disaster response teams and civil-military corporation. Political issues are often faced after disasters; this is because they act as catalyst...
These policies should be implemented as a precaution to mitigate the impacts and not after disasters. There are many problems associated with disasters; they are ambiguities and different government policies have failed to address sufficiently these issues in their design codes.
The rural areas are always vulnerable and do not have sufficient enforcement in construction quality for disaster management. Disaster management organizations also face poor infrastructure in most of disaster stricken countries, like the developing countries. This has made access difficult and sometimes more expensive. This is worsened by high poverty levels in these countries and inadequate human resources. Despite international organization's best efforts in disaster management, disastrous events overwhelm local capacities and response teams capacities.
Different population groups within a geographical area or between societies to disaster, largely function as political and economic structures, which can be classified in terms of class, ethnicity and gender. This warrants interventions to the vulnerable population, hence affecting differently to different groups making it a political…

Nonetheless these actions and missions had to have the agreement of the national states. Therefore, the strategy implied a complex relation between the transnational and the national levels. At the same time however, the health problems that could have arisen in the area demanded cooperation between the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization. Therefore it is obvious that such situations as a national disaster or a war
For example, many within Mexico complain that the agenda of the United States, and secondarily, Canada overshadows any legitimate concerns that Mexico may have. One of the best examples of this was the recent NAFTA meeting in Texas between the three nations -- not only did the United States agenda hold center stage despite legitimate and serious Mexican concerns, but Mexico had literally no choice but to go along
The effect of these sanctions can range from the alterations in the foreign policy to the declining export of oil for the country. One domain that has been exposed to restricted development is the oil industry. However it is also noteworthy that the economy of Iran is not entirely dependent on the export of oil for its growth (Momeni, Najafi, & Fathollahi, 2012). Moreover, the sanctions had a negative
However, although the institutionalist perspective may marginally be the more persuasive, it too has a flaw in the sense that it does not allow for sufficient diversity of interests that may transcend borders and impede international cooperation -- a Jewish supporter of Israel in the U.S. may not support his or her nation's attempt to facilitate economic and political cooperation with Saudi Arabia, and an unemployed American factory worker
As to the Korean businessmen, they are more paricularists as they confer a personal meaning even to business acts: for instance the business cards that need to be answered in public, the drinking that welcomes one into the group. Their openness to confessions towards performance is another sign of this dimension. With respect to the affective-neutral dimension, the U.S. is representative of the affective dimension as consultants in the case
