Public organizations are increasingly expected to cope with crisis
under the same resource constraints and mandates that make up their
normal routines, reinforced only through collaboration.
Collaborative Crisis Management introduces readers to how
collaboration shapes societies' capacity to plan for, respond to,
and recover from extreme and unscheduled events. Placing emphasis
on five conceptual dimensions, this book teaches students how this
panacea works out on the ground and in the boardrooms, and how
insights on collaborative practices can shed light on the outcomes
of complex inter-organizational challenges across cases derived
from different problem areas, administrative cultures, and national
systems. Written in a concise, accessible style by experienced
teachers and scholars, it places modes of collaboration under an
analytical microscope by assessing not only the collaborative tools
available to actors but also how they are used, to what effect, and
with which adaptive capacity. Ten empirical chapters span different
international cases and contexts discussing: Natural and "man-made"
hazards: earthquakes, hurricanes, wildfires, terrorism, migration
flows, and violent protests Different examples of collaborative
institutions, such as regional economic communities in Africa, and
multi-level arrangements in Canada, the Netherlands, Turkey, and
Switzerland Application of a multimethod approach, including single
case studies, comparative case studies, process-tracing, and
"large-n" designs. Collaborative Crisis Management is essential
reading for those involved in researching and teaching crisis
management.
