This volume of leading scholarly articles addresses the
international dynamics of emergency policy and practice. In a world
of increasing technological, economic and political
interdependency, it is no longer feasible for states to ignore the
pervasive influence of globalisation. The crises wrought by
industrial disasters, catastrophic weather events, pandemics,
financial implosion and cyber intrusion now transcend and challenge
national interests with increasing frequency. The case-studies
collected here explore these global dimensions of crisis and the
state through the lenses of planning and prevention, acute
responses, recovery and reconstruction, and learning about crisis.
This collection is essential reading for academics, policy
officials and practitioners with an interest in emergency
management, risk management and issues of national/global security.
In original introductory and concluding chapters to the volume,
Legrand and McConnell provide a critical perspective on the
challenges that globalisation presents to policymakers under crisis
conditions and signposts some of the emerging challenges to the
state and international community.
