Scholars have put efforts on reforming disaster law, yet the impact of politics on disaster management is understated. This article takes Taiwan as a case to study how the disaster management system evolves with the interrelationships between disasters, politics, and law. This article suggests that Confucianism in the past authoritarian times had developed a paternalist disaster politics, which continuingly affects current operation of the disaster management system. Under the influence of paternalist politics, the state takes a primary role in disaster management without a sustainable financial mechanism, which renders citizens passive and indifferent. To better respond to climate change, this article integrates climate change adaptation to disaster management and proposes climate insurance to better distribute disaster risk and enhance the resilience of Taiwan amid a changing climate. Keywords: Disaster Politics, Climate Change, Climate Insurance, Disaster Law, Adaptation 1 DOI 10.53106/181263242022061701001 * Associate Professor, Department of Financial & Economic Law, Chung Yuan Christian University. The author thanks the valuable opinions of two anonymous reviewers and assistance of student, Ting Hsuan Yeh.
