What is it about?

My contribution to this volume is a chapter on transboundary crisis management, specifically national responses to the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic.

Why is it important?

Pandemics are quintessential transboundary crises where countries depend on eachothers' policies. Seeing what countries do - how they differ and how they remain similar when facing the same crisis - is an important part of understanding and managing such events.

Perspectives

This addresses a more global perspective than my other work on pandemic response. But the global view is, in many ways, the critical view when it comes to actually overcoming crises effectively and with as little damage as possible.
