With regard to NATO and EU expansion, effective and legitimate civilian crisis management and civil protection are becoming important items on the public policy agendas of individual nations as well as international organizations. Civilian crises can all too easily escalate into political crises or lead to the outbreak of violent domestic or international conflicts. The Crisis Management (CM) Europe program is a research project that aims to produce scientific knowledge that can be used to train practitioners to cope more effectively with national, regional and transnational crises.
Initiated in 1997 with a focus on the Baltic Sea Area, the CM Europe Program, directed by the Center for Crisis Management Research and Training (CRISMART) at the Swedish National Defense College, engages more than one hundred scholars from different parts of Europe and North America. The program systematically documents and analyzes specific cases of national and regional crises. It relies upon a contextually grounded process tracing method for case reconstruction and dissection derived from relevant literature in political science, psychology, and organizational sociology. In 2002, the Romanian research team joined this international research team and this book represents the tenth published CM Europe volume focusing on national crisis management.
