Böcker av Allan McConnell

Written by three eminent scholars in the field of the politics and policy of crisis management, it offers a unique 'bird's eye' view of the immense logistical and political challenges of addressing a worst-case scenario that would prove the ultimate stress test for societies, governments, governing institutions and political leaders.

This collection of key scholarly articles addresses the international dynamics of emergency policy and practice and provides a critical perspective on the challenges that globalisation presents to policymakers under crisis conditions.

This book provides academics, students, practitioners, journalists and others with a broad-ranging yet detailed account, not just of how local government actually works, but also the main political issues and debates surrounding its multi-faceted roles in contemporary Scotland.
