  3. Key research questions/aims? • To what extent and how do public and private sector organizations learn from critical events? • Why do actors, cases and contexts exhibit different patterns of learning and change in response to critical events? • Contribute to the growing scientific literature on crisis accountability and learning • Identify candidate ’best practices’ for crisis evaluation and learning

  4. Research design and method • Multiple methods • Comparative case studies • Case pairs • Additional case studies • Literature and conceptual studies • Primary empirical foci: Natural disasters, Critical infrastructure failures, Public order and law enforcement

  5. Project-related publications • Governing After Crisis (Cambridge UP) • 2 published dissertations (Nohrstedt and Hansen), 1 approved (Deverell) • Dissertation ms (Koreus) • 18 published articles in international journals and volumes • 15 conference papers • 9 Studies and working papers
