I'm excited to share my contribution to The Routledge Handbook on Crisis, Polycrisis, and Public Administration, where I explore how modern governance can adapt to our increasingly complex world. In Chapter 7, I examine how public sector crisis management is being transformed by the push-and-pull between fragmentation and integration, local and global forces. Today's political landscape isn't just changing – it's being fundamentally reshaped by advanced technology, evolving philosophical frameworks, and global transformations that challenge traditional notions of authority. Key insights from my research: 1. The emergence of new political actors is redistributing power and influence across multiple levels, creating both challenges and opportunities for crisis response 2. Traditional governance models are increasingly inadequate for addressing contemporary crises that cross borders and jurisdictions Three innovative frameworks offer practical solutions: 1. Multilevel governance 2. Multiscalarity 3. Heterarchy These approaches provide public administrators with more flexible and responsive tools for managing crises in our interconnected world. This work is part of a larger conversation about how we can build more resilient public institutions capable of addressing complex, multi-dimensional challenges. The future of effective crisis management lies in embracing these new paradigms of governance. #crisismanagement #governance #polycrisis #publicpolicy #publicadministration

Since the transformation of civil defence into the modern emergency management (EM), we've seen a growth in the public sector role in preparedness. Our ancestors were independent, responsible for the totality of their lives - from building their own homes, growing food, earning an income and taking care of the family throughout calamities. A transformative series of decades brought society to the 2020s, where when hit with one calamity after another, society is dependent on the public sector for survival, in economic and personal terms. We've created, with the best of intentions, a society that requires government and private sector support to be profitable and survivable. A culture of preparedness embraces these modern advances, leverages them to the greatest degree possible, but wholeheartedly understands that in the event of a failure, it is the individuals responsibility to manage the gap until the system comes back online. Preparedness is the totality of cognitive choices and physical actions undertaken to ready you and your family for the loss of one or more sectors of CI, likely for a prolonged period. That culture is at the macro level, absent from society. Our public sector resident-facing preparedness communication are inadequate and don't persuade the population to assume responsibility for their outcomes. We encourage others to hunker down, eat shelf stable food, drink bottled water, grab the flashlights and wait for the government to reset everything. Hold on and we'll rescue you, that is the message of today's preparedness communications, encouraging the population to be professional victims. Not thrive, or build resilience so that a loss of CI fails to alter their normal lives, but to be dependent. This is an incredible opportunity to create a modern technologically enabled society that is supported by a culture of preparedness, so that future periodic losses of CI have a nominal effect on the population and that the community thrives without government support, through the incident, emerging relatively unscathed. Will we embrace this opportunity and adopt a culture of preparedness? #emergencymanagement #disastermanagement #emergencypreparedness #preparedness #resilience #community #communications #response #recovery #mitigation #innovation #criticalinfrastructure #family #outcomes #responsibility #insurance #disruption #disaster #emergency #culture https://lnkd.in/dusSmS6E

Honest and true to the EM profession; we have to change our philosophy and strategies of how, why and what we deliver before, during and after the incident. Current initiatives are not creating a preparedness culture, but a dependency culture. We talk about the 72 hour rule; what is it we are going to deliver after that 72 hours of resident self sustainment? Are we really ready?
