Critical perspectives in Emergency Services Management (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This ebook explores the phenomenon of co-producing and co-creating services, policies and knowledge and the creation or destruction of value in the delivery of emergency services and more broadly in the research and practice of emergency management. Some of the papers in this issue were presented at the XXII International Research Society for Public Management (IRSPM) annual conference held in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2018 on the theme of "e;Creating and co-creating value in public service delivery"e;. Other papers in the ebook result from a subsequent call for papers on the same theme of the conference. The ebook seeks to understand what should be considered as value in the co-production and co-creation of emergency services and emergency management since it is not always clear what "e;value"e; is and for whom it is created. In addition, the ebook offers a reflection upon the current concepts of co-production, co-creation and public value creation and links this discourse to the field of emergency management. These issues are exemplified by the domestic and international response to Covid-19. At the time of writing many governments are asking citizens to self-isolate if they or emergency response teams suspect they may have the virus, or to 'socially distance' if citizens are in a 'vulnerable' group. They are in effect asking for voluntary behavioral changes from the public as part of policy development and implementation. Whether a more or less prescriptive approach is adopted by governments, all approaches have acknowledged that the response of users and members of the community is crucial to both the direction and the success of the policy adopted.This ebook explores the phenomenon of co-producing and co-creating services, policies and knowledge and the creation or destruction of value in the delivery of emergency services and more broadly in the research and practice of emergency management.
