Beyond Borders - Cross-Actor Cooperation in Crisis Situations : A comparative case study between the management of the traffic situation on European Route 22 and the landslide in Stenungsund (English)
Abstract [sv]

Studien undersöker hur externa faktorer påverkar samverkan under krissituationer. För att åstadkomma detta jämförs två empiriska fall, trafiksituationen på Europaväg 22 i Skåne januari år 2024 och jordskredet i Stenungsund september år 2023. De två undersökta samverkansprocesserna fick skilda utfall trots flera likheter mellan händelserna samt attaktörernas hantering av kriserna utgick från samma institutionella design. För att undersöka varför samverkan sett olika ut har Ansell och Gash (2008) teoretiska ramverk applicerats med ambitionen att illustrera hur två teoretiska faktorer, startförhållande och faciliterande ledarskap, kan förklara varför fallen skiljer sig åt. Datamaterialet har inhämtats genom två datainsamlingsmetoder, semistrukturerade intervjuer och kvalitativ textanalys, som analyserats tematiskt utifrån Georges och Bennetts (2005) metodiska ramverk, Strukturerad och fokuserad jämförelse. Resultatet pekar på att det funnits tydliga skillnader mellan fallen avseende startförhållanden, framför allt tidigare samverkanserfarenheter, och faciliterande ledarskap. I Stenungsund har datamaterialet visat att det funnits flera tidigare positiva samverkanserfarenheter vilket resulterat i god personkännedom och höga nivåer av förtroende. Flera indikatorer har även påvisat faciliterande ledarskap. I Skåne var indikatorer på tidigare positiva samverkanserfarenheter däremot få eftersom aktörerna inte samverkat i liknande krissituationer tidigare. I intervjusvaren framgår även avsaknaden av ett faciliterande ledarskap.

Abstract [en]

This study investigates how external factors affect collaboration during crisis situations by comparing two empirical cases, the traffic situation on European Route 22 in Skane january 2024 and the landslide in Stenungsund september 2023, that had different outcomes despite both cases being based on the same institutional design. To investigate why collaborative crisis management differs between crises, Ansell and Gash’s (2008) theoretical framework has been applied with the aim of illustrating how two theoretical factors, starting conditions and facilitative leadership, can explain why the cases differ. The data has been obtained through two data collection methods, semi-structured interviews and qualitative text analysis, and has been analysed thematically based on George and Bennett’s (2005) methodological framework, The Method of Structured Focused Comparison. The results indicates that there have been clear differences between the cases in terms of starting conditions, particularly prior experiences of collaboration during crisis, and facilitative leadership. In the case of the landslide in Stenungsund, the data has indicated that there were several previous positive collaboration experiences and therefore good personal knowledge and high level of trust among the actors. The result had several indicators of facilitative leadership. While in the case of the traffic situation on European Route 22 there were not as clear indicators of positive collaborative experiences since they had not collaborated in a similar crisis situation before. The interview responses also show the lack of a facilitative leadership.
