When Worlds Collapse into Each Other: The Quest for Successful Crisis Management entangled between Public Administration and Politics in the New Era of Transboundary Adversities - An Examination of the Change in the Relationship between Public Servants and Politicians in the Face of Transboundary Crises As modern crises easily transcend traditional geographical, functional, and temporal boundaries, traditional political-administrative systems struggle to keep up with their dynamics. Yet, political and public-administrative leaders are held accountable for failures in crisis management. In the face of public pressure, the relationships between bureaucrats and politicians, at the heart of the state, are politicised, strained, and put to the test.Combining insights from the public administration, organisation/management and broader political literature on crises, the research examines how exactly the bureaucratic-political relationship, conceptualised through the Public Service Bargain (PSB), changes in the specific context of highly politicised adversities. It advances a simple analytical framework through which crisis management is separated into three rough phases, namely the pre-crisis, acute crisis response and post-crisis phases. Along these three phases, which encompass eight crisis management functions (preparation, detection, sense-making, decision-making, coordination, meaning-making/communication, mitigation/crisis termination, and learning), the change in the relationship between civil servants and the wider political system is inspected. In particular, it is examined whether politicisation is likely to occur and which variations of the PSB between politicians and public administrators are desirable across these eight tasks. In careful consideration of the pre-existing system characteristics, individual history, and global embeddedness of the country, as well as the eventual crisis outcome, the performance of conducting these tasks within different arrangements is empirically scrutinised across various countries and endured crises. For this, data is gathered from semi-structured interviews and analysed through qualitative content analysis in order to arrive at a more systematic understanding of how transboundary crisis management can be conducted in the interplay between politics and public administration. As it, in this way, also aims to ascertain which arrangements are conducive to efficient crisis management, it additionally provides policy advice to bureaucratic and political decision-makers calling increasingly for help in the face of this new type of crises.

当世界崩溃时：跨界依附新时代纠缠于公共行政与政治之间的成功危机管理的探索--对跨界危机面前公务员与政治家关系变化的考察由于现代危机很容易超越传统的地理、功能和时间界限，传统的政治-行政系统难以跟上其动态。然而，政治和公共行政领导人要对危机管理的失败负责。面对公众的压力，官僚和政治家之间的关系，在国家的核心，是政治化，紧张，并提出了考验。结合公共行政，组织/管理和更广泛的政治文献的见解危机，研究探讨了官僚政治关系，概念化通过公共服务交易（PSB），在高度政治化的逆境的特定背景下的变化。它提出了一个简单的分析框架，通过该框架，危机管理分为三个粗略的阶段，即危机前，紧急危机应对和危机后阶段。沿着这三个阶段，其中包括八个危机管理功能（准备，检测，感觉，决策，协调，意义制定/沟通，缓解/危机终止和学习），公务员和更广泛的政治制度之间的关系的变化进行了检查。特别是，它是研究是否政治化可能会发生，政治家和公共行政人员之间的公共广播的变化是可取的，在这八个任务。在仔细考虑预先存在的系统特性，个人历史，和国家的全球嵌入性，以及最终的危机结果，在不同的安排进行这些任务的性能是经验审查在不同的国家和经历的危机。为此，从半结构化访谈中收集数据，并通过定性内容分析进行分析，以便更系统地了解如何在政治和公共行政之间的相互作用中进行跨界危机管理。由于它也以这种方式确定哪些安排有利于有效的危机管理，它还向面对这种新型危机越来越多地要求帮助的官僚和政治决策者提供政策咨询。
