Performance of collaborative emergency management networks in Latin America
Supervisors:Dr. Louise Reardon and Dr. Timea Nochta
Collaborative network emergency management responses have garnered significant attention from scholars and international organizations as a promising approach to address crises effectively. Despite this, there remains an unanswered question about whether such networks are more effective than traditional Weberian hierarchies in the context of Latin America. To bridge this knowledge gap, this research project aims to empirically examine the factors influencing the performance of emergency networks and the variations among different networks in Latin America. By doing so, this project will contribute valuable insights to the academic debate on the performance of emergency management networks and offer practical guidance for policymakers and public administrators.
