"Crisis collaboration across geographical and administrative borders is a must. It is also extremely hard. Under the guidance of Bynander and Nohrstedt, crisis experts pursue the Holy Grail of crisis collaboration in an exciting set of case studies. Extremely relevant for both academics and practitioners. A welcome addition to the crisis literature!" —Arjen Boin, Leiden University"Collaborative Crisis Management addresses collective action dilemma in response to major crises and disasters such as terrorism, wildfires, and earthquakes in different geographies, cultures, and political and administrative settings. This timely volume provides conceptually and analytically valuable perspectives from experts in the field in applying network governance in dealing with crises and disasters. The volume is an essential resource for both scholars and practitioners." —Naim Kapucu, Ph.D., Pegasus Professor & Director of the School of Public Administration, University of Central Florida“Emergency management is, above all, a social process. This authoritative book provides a valuable structure for analyzing the participation of people and organizations in crisis response. Its coverage of hazards and geographical areas is broad and eclectic. In responding to disasters and major incidents, collaboration is becoming more and more necessary. Many different agencies are likely to be involved, and hence the interorganizational perspective brought by the authors of this book is particularly welcome.” —David Alexander, Professor of Risk and Disaster Reduction, University College London
