Abstract

This volume is the result of a longstanding cooperation between the editors and some of the contributors, which started in 2012, with their joint participation in the COST Action IS1201 Disaster Bioethics organized under the leadership of Dublin City University and Associate Professor Dónal O’Mathúna. Soon after, followed a joint workshop entitled “Disaster and Social Justice: Victims, Vulnerabilities and Resilience,” at the University of Copenhagen with the COST Action IS1201 on 27-28 February 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The central topic of our shared discussion since then has been the controversial relation between social and ethical issues triggered by disasters, as well as bioethics as a theoretical and applied discipline. These joint efforts resulted in an inter-universities cooperation and the volume edited by D. O’Mathúna, V. Dranseika and B. Gordijn titled Disasters: Core Concepts and Ethical Theories. Ten years after our firsts scientific contacts concerning disaster issues, Veselin Mitrović and Naomi Zack initiated a joint conference “Social, Economic and Political Construction of COVID-19” organized by the Institute of Social Sciences (ISS) and Lehman College, CUNY in Belgrade, Serbia and New York, USA (virtual), in May 2023. 8 Preface As with all such volumes, they are the result of many people’s contributions and help. First of all, we would like to express our utmost gratitude to all contributors for putting in so much hard work to provide this volume with numerous excellent and thought-provoking chapters. We are grateful to the Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovations of the Republic of Serbia for the financial support in realizing this book. Furthermore, we would like to say a special “thank you” to Dragica Puljarević and Goran Bašić, as well as the rest of the ISS publishing team, for their tremendous support and patience with regard to putting this volume together. We are grateful to the president of the Scientific Council of the ISS Predrag Jovanović and the entire Council membership, who supported the publishing of this book. Last, but certainly not least, we owe gratitude to our proofreaders and reviewers for their proofreading and language editing efforts. We cannot stress enough how much we appreciate the final support we received from those colleagues and honest friends who morally and collegially supported us in the final phase of this project. Veselin Mitrović & Dónal O’Mathúna December 2023
