本文探讨了最近出现的涉及再保险行业和资本市场的倡议，以建立机制，为灾难性事件造成的损失提供资金。本文从两个角度对这些举措进行了讨论。一种观点认为，在当代风险社会中，灾难性事件正变得越来越不可投保，从而探讨了这些融资机制。在这方面，本文讨论了与风险网络的一致性和可持续性有关的问题，这些风险网络是维持灾难性事件可保性的基础。这些灾难融资举措也从第二个（尽管是相关的）角度进行了讨论。这是指这些不同融资机制的出现。在这方面，自由政府的发展潜力或推动管理灾难性风险的不同方式发展的创新机制变得非常重要。这篇论文认为，这些不同的灾难融资机制的出现是在对灾难的不可保险性和资本主义聪明才智的极端担忧的交叉点上出现的，这表明这两种观点可能为风险社会的一些可能的未来轨迹提供见解。
This paper examines the recent emergence of initiatives involving the reinsurance industry and the capital markets to develop mechanisms to finance the losses arising from catastrophic events. These initiatives are discussed from two perspectives. One perspective explores these financing mechanisms from the contention that catastrophic events are becoming increasingly non-insurable within contemporary risk society. In this regard the paper addresses issues relating to the coherence and sustainability of the risk networks underpinning efforts to maintain the insurability of catastrophic events. These catastrophe-financing initiatives are also discussed from a second, although related perspective. This refers to the very emergence of these different financing mechanisms. In this regard the moving potential of liberal government or the inventive mechanics driving the development of different ways to manage catastrophic risk become significant. The paper argues that the emergence of these different catastrophe-financing mechanisms is occurring at the intersection of concerns over the non-insurability of the catastrophic and the extremes of capitalist ingenuity, suggesting both perspectives might offer insights into some of the possible future trajectories of risk society.
