Scope/Description:

Scholarship on risk hazards and crises emergencies disasters or public policyorganizational crises has developed into mature and distinct fields of inquiry. Risk HazardsCrisis in Public Policy RHCPP addresses the governance implications of the important questions raised for the respective fields. The relationships between risk hazards and crisis raise fundamental questions with broad social science and policy implications. During unstable situations of acute or chronic danger and substantial uncertainty i.e. a crisis important and deeply rooted societal institutions norms and values come into play.The purpose of RHCPP is to provide a forum for research and commentary that examines societies understanding of and measures to address riskhazards and crises how public policies do and should address these concerns and to what effect. The journal is explicitly designed to encourage a broad range of perspectives by integrating work from a variety of disciplines.The journal will look at social science theory and policy design across the spectrum of risks and crisesincluding natural and technological hazards public health crises terrorism and societal and environmental disasters. Papers will analyze the ways societies deal with both unpredictable and predictable events as public policy questions which include topics such as crisis governance loss and liability emergency response agenda setting and the social and cultural contexts in which hazards risks and crises are perceived and defined.Risk HazardsCrisis in Public Policy invites dialogue and is open to new approaches. We seek scholarly work that combines academic quality with practical relevance. We especially welcome authors writing on the governance of risk and crises to submit their manuscripts.
