Crisis management has become one of the core challenges facing
governments, but successful crisis response depends on effective
public leadership. Building on insights from Pragmatist philosophy,
this deeply nuanced book provides guidance and direction for public
leaders tackling the most challenging tasks of the twenty-first
century. This timely and insightful book demonstrates how
Pragmatism enables leaders to strategically address the fog of
uncertainty that characterizes crises. Illuminating the power of
practical rationality in crisis situations, Christopher Ansell and
Martin Bartenberger develop a model of Pragmatist political crisis
management and contrast this with crisis decision making and
meaning making guided by principle. Examining the interplay of
practical rationality and principle during the US financial crisis
of 2008, the authors develop empirical indicators to evaluate when
and why crisis leaders may adopt Pragmatist or principle-guided
strategies. Flawlessly blending theory with practice, Ansell and
Bartenberger offer key insights to those active in the crisis
management community. Crisis management and public administration
scholars will benefit from the detailed overview of Pragmatism and
its applications to concrete issues of governance, while
practitioners will profit from the book's insight into crisis
leadership and decision making.
