Reviews

This is the right book at the right time. This is an imaginative, far sighted and relevant book, and I take great pleasure in recommending it for anyone interested in any aspect of strategic risk and crisis management. * Professor Ljiljana Markovic PhD, Academic Director, ECPD * Captivating. David Rubens has brought a lifetime of scholarship and practical work on Risk and Crisis Management to a subject we spend too little time thinking, or more importantly, doing something about. His entertaining stories and practical lessons offer a supremely useful handbook for everyone who confronts risks and crises in today's world - that's all of us. * General Stanley McChrystal, Author, Team of Teams * David Rubens provides an incredibly timely and indispensable guide, equipping managers, policy makers, and all of us with the knowledge and insights for managing complex risks that we need if we are to find a safe course through the treacherous waters that lie before us. * Stephen Flynn, Founding Director, Global Resilience Institute, Northeastern University * There is an ever-increasing need to look at strategic risk and crisis management from a meta-perspective, allowing both high level integration of multiple stakeholders but also ensuring that there is meaningful engagement in the issues facing communities around the world. David Rubens' book offers both a deeply researched and highly detailed academic analysis combined with a practical approach that will have real value for practitioners, whatever area of risk management they are involved in. * Nadine Sulkowski, Project Lead, Erasmus+ BUiLD programme (Building Universities for Leading in Disaster Resilience) * Crisis management practitioners have recognized for years that a definitive and detailed handbook that can help all levels of those involved in crisis management planning, policy or execution is needed. This is now available, and I strongly recommend anybody and everybody interested or engaged in crisis management have this book in quick and easy reach. * David Horobin, Head of Crisis Management, Geneva Centre for Security Policy * This handbook is extremely useful and timely, as it fills the gap between academia and practitioner, providing vital insights to discuss complex risks whilst providing a framework for action. * Xavier Castellanos, Under-Secretary-General, International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies * In a world of chaos and instability, this book matches formal academic rigour with a deep understanding of the challenges that the world is throwing at us. It offers the reader a structure and methodology that is invaluable in developing frameworks that would support our own activities within the regional and global risk environment we are all operating in. * Marqueza Cathalina L. Reyes, Senior Technical Advisor for Resilience and DRR, Climate Change Commission Philippines *
