About the course 'Learning and Accountability'
Western societies and governments often struggle to recuperate from crises, such as natural disasters, riots and terrorist attacks. What happens following the immediate crisis response in order to arrive at a restoration of stability? Post-crisis politics involve long-term dynamic processes of accountability characterised by formal inquiries, blame games, political manoeuvring, media scrutiny and crisis exploitation. The pressure on learning in order to improve future safety gives rise to official investigations and reform proposals. Also, society needs to bounce back and victims receive psycho-social care in the aftermath of crises and disasters. While most agree on the ambition to hold governments accountable and to learn from crises, we see that in post-crisis debates time horizons shift, data are used selectively, and inferences about 'good' and 'bad' are drawn. Meanwhile, policy makers and political executives struggle to improve their policies based on evidence in order to prepare for future crises.
This course teaches students to critically review existing research. By exploring different conceptualisations and explanatory theories in academic literature combined with reviewing and discussing empirical research, students will learn about the dynamics, consequences and challenges of post-crisis governance. The seminar series will build on a mix of academic studies, case examples, investigation reports and policy documents. The seminar has an interactive set-up and includes guest lectures from crisis professionals. Evaluating existing research and reports is an invaluable skill for practitioners in crisis and security management, such as in the process of policy-making in the safety and security domain.
