The constant threat of crises such as disasters, riots and
terrorist attacks poses a frightening challenge to Western
societies and governments. While the causes and dynamics of these
events have been widely studied, we know little about what happens
following their containment and the restoration of stability. This
volume explores 'post-crisis politics, ' examining how crises give
birth to longer term dynamic processes of accountability and
learning which are characterised by official investigations, blame
games, political manoeuvring, media scrutiny and crisis
exploitation. Drawing from a wide range of contemporary crises,
including Hurricane Katrina, 9/11, the Madrid train bombings, the
Walkerton water contamination, Space Shuttles Challenger and
Columbia and the Boxing Day Asian tsunami, this is a
ground-breaking volume which addresses the longer term impact of
crisis-induced politics. Competing pressures for stability and
change mean that policies, institutions and leaders may
occasionally be uprooted, but often survive largely intact.
