Abstract

This chapter introduces the book as well as the multi-country research project that provided the basis for the research, data and analysis undertaken. It establishes the relevance and critical nature of the focus of our research project, which is effective political leadership in disasters and crises. It explains the approach that we have taken to this topic and presents a roadmap for readers regarding what to expect. Here, we briefly outline the contents of each chapter. Our book presents a challenge to researchers to reconceptualize and transform their approach to research about the involvement of politicians in disasters and crises by looking for examples of what constitutes best practice.
