本研究旨在加深我们对瑞典地区跨市政策网络在应急管理方面如何建立和维持合作的了解。我们讨论了五个城市的网络是如何出现和形成的。总体而言，我们的结论是，城市应急管理中的协调与合作可能相对容易发展，因为相关参与者很容易看到好处。在建立高效、高质量的应急管理并为其提供资金时，共享资源被视为至关重要。各市政府缺乏资源来按照法律要求提供有效的紧急服务，这使得它们相互依赖。协调的限制与距离和其他地理因素有关。其他同等重要的限制与文化/传统、相互理解、合作伙伴规模、不愿放弃权力以及小城市和大城市之间合作的先前障碍等因素有关。
This study aims to increase our understanding of how co-operation in inter-municipality policy networks in a Swedish region is established and maintained regarding emergency management. We discuss how a network of five municipalities emerged and took shape. Overall, we conclude that co-ordination and co-operation in municipal emergency management are probably relatively easy to develop, because it is easy for the involved actors to see the benefits. Sharing resources is seen as crucial when establishing and, not least, financing efficient, high-quality emergency management. The municipalities' lack of resources to provide effective emergency services, as required by law, makes them dependent on each other. Limits for co-ordination were connected to distance and other geographical factors. Other limits of equal importance were linked to factors such as culture/tradition, mutual understanding, size of partners, and unwillingness to give up authority as well as a prior barrier for co-operation between small and bigger municipalities.
