abstract="To explain both origin and outcome of disasters ('natural', 'technical', and 'war-borne'), as well as social action during disasters proper, a macrosociological model of internal causation is introduced ('PERDUE'). It consists of six stages of possible, and of most likely paths of social change between these six ('Peace is founded', 'Everyday routine', 'Rising class struggle', 'Disasters strike', 'Unconditional surrender of collective defence', and 'Evaporation of common values'). The stages are developed by making use of three dimensions of social change ('rapidity', 'radicality', and 'rituality'), and described.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
