European civil security governance: diversity and cooperation in crisis and disaster management

This publication examines the cross-cutting, multi-level policy space of European civil security governance in its different manifestations and consequences, within the context of natural and man-made risks and crises. It identifies patterns of diversity and commonality between European states and international organizations, elucidates the process of transformation and reviews the opportunities for transnational cooperation in the hybrid area of civil security that still often escapes wider public attention. This book will be of interest to researchers and students of crisis and disaster management, EU integration, international organizations and security governance.
