Bridging the gap between theories of policy process and crisis management

Abstract

Although the concept of crisis has always been crucial in policy studies, the recent pandemic has shown how policy process research needs to move forward in order to fully understand the antecedents, dynamics, outputs, outcomes, and type of responses to transboundary and unexpected crises. The panel invites contributions which can strength the added value of theories of policy research on crisis management and practice.
