ACME: An International E-Journal for Critical Geographies, volume 9, issue 2, 2010:

This paper seeks to go beyond some assumed practice—such as viewing vulnerability as a contemporary snapshot of a group of people in a specific place—in an attempt to demonstrate evidence of vulnerability and to begin to reveal its causes, so that national and local, multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral applications from the past and the present might assist its long overdue reduction, now and in the future.
