"Kapucu provides public administrators in crisis situations—profoundly different from everyday bureaucratic agency routines, of course—with a veritable manual on how to build administrative capacity rapidly in the face of extraordinary danger, coordinate across multiple emergency responders, restore disrupted communications technologies, and employ fl exible, collaborative decision making throughout. Along with the author’s previous works, this book stands as an important line of research, on which future scholars will build in order to better comprehend this complex, understudied topic of our times." - Yusuf Ustun, Ministry of the Interior, Turkey
