with Ritwika Basu. Disasters and Local Politics. pp. This project examines how exposure to slow-onset disasters, such as recurrent floods and droughts, reshapes citizen-state relations. Evidence from qualitative fieldwork and citizen surveys in two Indian states, Bihar and Gujarat, indicates that exposure to slow-onset disasters mediates citizen claim-making practices in climate-vulnerable regions. Specifically, we find that households that are more severely exposed to recurrent disaster events engage at higher rates in collective claim-making on state institutions (via protests and community meetings) than similar households that are less severely exposed. These results reveal how climate risks intersect with household political strategies to shape demand-side accountability mechanisms in contexts where formal institutions are weak.
