| Abstract: | This paper describe and explain citizens’ and civil servants’ perceptions of how able
government bodies are to prevent and handle crises. The explanatory factors are trust,
cultural, political, structural and demographic features. The empirical data base is two
Norwegian surveys, one to the citizens and one to civil servants. The major findings are
that citizens have a rather high general trust in government ability to handle and prevent
crises and that there are no big differences between the general public and the
government regarding their perception of crisis management. Political efficacy is the
main explanatory variable among the citizens and policy area, perceived coordinative
capability and mutual trust among the civil servants. |
