纽约、伦敦和马德里发生的一系列恐怖袭击给关键基础设施的公共管理带来了一些重大问题。在许多国家，20 世纪 80 年代和 90 年代的私有化已将关键基础设施的关键要素转移给私营公司。由于这些基础设施对我们的社会和经济具有重要意义，因此必须保护它们免遭长期故障。 “新”恐怖主义有可能做到这一点。管理这一新威胁是一项复杂的任务，总是由公共和私人行为者共同承担。他们必须应对预防攻击、跨组织边界有效信息沟通以及危机决策的“所有权”等核心挑战。本文在公共管理和危机管理的更广泛研究领域的背景下考虑这些问题。
The spate of terrorist attacks in New York, London and Madrid has raised some significant issues for the public management of critical infrastructures. In many countries, privatizations in the 1980s and 1990s have transferred key elements of the critical infrastructure to private companies. Because these infrastructures are of major significance to our societies and economies, they must be protected against prolonged periods of breakdown. The ‘new’ terrorism has the potential to do just that. The management of this new threat is a complex task, which invariably will be undertaken by both public and private actors. They must deal with the core challenges of the prevention of attacks, effective communication of information across organizational boundaries and the ‘ownership’ of crisis decision-making. This article considers these issues within the context of the broader research areas of public management and crisis management.
