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 Transnational collaborative institutions, such as regional economic communities in Africa and the European Union Application of a multi-method 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"--
