Crisis-induced learning in public sector organizations
Edward Deverell
Disputation vid Utrecht University 2010
This dissertation calls for practical models to help us understand what factors affect the crisis management (CM) and learning process in public organizations. Deverell brings together literature on CM, learning, public management and organization theory. He examines CM and learning processes during and after crises as an interconnected process by studying six cases of organizational CM. From the case studies he extracts a framework of CM and learning processes in public organizations.
Crisis and Policy Reformcraft: Advocacy Coalitions and Crisis-induced Change in Swedish Nuclear Energy Policy
Daniel Nohrstedt
Disputation vid Uppsala universitet 2007
This dissertation consists of three interrelated essays examining the role of crisis events in Swedish nuclear energy policymaking. The study takes stock of the idea of ‘crisis exceptionalism’ raised in the literature, which postulates that crisis events provide openings for major policy change.
Dan Hansén
Disputation vid Utrecht University 2007
This thesis delves into the policymaking effects of three Swedish crises: the 1972 Bulltofta skyjacking, the 1975 seizure of the West-German Stockholm Embassy and the 1986 murder of Prime Minister Olof Palme. The thesis argues that Swedish policy makers have been heavily influenced by cognitive biases when interpreting crises, which has had a moderating effect on policy change initiatives. Major policy changes or innovations have occurred, although these have been in keeping with dominant policy core beliefs, if such have prevailed. The changes however needed entrepreneurial exertion to come about. Government and administrative turnovers have had little impact on changing the constituencies for certain belief structures.
The Rise and Fall of the Submarine Threat: Threat Politics and Submarine Intrusions in Sweden 1980-2002
Fredrik Bynander
Disputation vid Uppsala universitet 2003
In a time when threats inherent to the Cold War have been largely forgotten, and replaced with fears of terrorist attacks and epidemics, this book returns to the not so distant past in search for knowledge on how threats grow and decline in a societal context.
Vad styr ledaren? Om beslutsfattare och policyförändring i säkerhetspolitiska kriser
Karin Lindgren
Disputation vid Uppsala universitet 2003
Vad styr ledare när inriktningen på centrala beslut ska utformas? Denna avhandling behandlar två dimensioner av denna fråga, nämligen "av vad styrs ledare" och "genom vad styr ledare". Den beroende variabeln är inriktning på slutligt taget centralt beslut som relateras till rådande policy. Inriktningen har fått sex möjliga utfall som grupperas i ingen eller måttlig förändring och substantiell förändring.
Crisis Decisionmaking: A Cognitive-Institutional Approach
Eric Stern
Disputation vid Stockholms universitet 1999
This dissertation probes the plausibility of integrating convergent elements of cognitive and neo-institutional theory to develop systematic research strategies suitable for use in dissecting, analyzing, and comparing historical cases of crisis decisionmaking. Particular emphasis is placed on the structure and dynamics of the small groups which figure prominently in crisis decisionmaking in a wide variety of cultures and institutional settings.
