Abstract
The project Crisis Management Baltic , of which this book is a part, has the goal of mapping possible national profiles of decision-making during crises among the countries of the Baltic Sea region, as well as gathering in-depth experience of previous historic crisis episodes. This work started with a book on Swedish crisis management, which probed three strategically selected cases to build a base for this wider objective. In phase one of the project there has been an emphasis on continuing to develop our knowledge of crisis management on the Swedish scene but some cases were drawn from other arenas as well. The eight case studies presented here give an opportunity to make a substantial contribution, not only to an analytically coherent and policy relevant case-bank, but also to generalized knowledge of crisis decision-making processes. In subsequent volumes from the project there will be an increasing emphasis on commissioned studies of crisis that have occurred in other countries in the Baltic Sea area. The next volume presents results from the Estonian crisis research team. Work in progress includes similar teams in Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and additional Nordic/Swedish constellations. The objective in this project is to build case-banks drawn from several countries and from different types of crisis across various sectors of societal developments ranging from the military realm to the police/public order, financial, environmental and health sectors and so forth. The idea is that by dissecting the crisis experiences, we can draw lessons from experience. We can use the case-banks for training and also for seeking patterns across crises, across sectors and maybe also across nations. This is useful for explaining outcomes and in a sense for evaluating performance. Some crises turned out very well, others not so well. Why? How do we explain differences in outcome? In addition to the very practical utility of this kind of post mortems, these case-banks also have important academic, scientific value. We see this as a useful partnership between doing something of importance in the sphere of knowledge, building better insights about our own past, and generating knowledge that hopefully can be useful for coping with crises in the future, for training purposes and for planning.
