Analysing organisational, legal, and political framework conditions to support the implementation of new crisis management solutions

New solutions, technical and non-technical, provide strong opportunities to improve crisis management, while successful operationalisation of new solutions essentially depends on framework conditions such as organisational, legal, and political aspects in the respective area. Within the FP7-project DRIVER, these framework conditions are addressed in a dedicated part. Next to the objective of receiving most realistic scenarios for the testing of new Crisis Management solutions, the analysis of framework conditions aims at developing evidence-based recommendations for different types of stakeholders. Intensive surveys of the European Member States, selected third countries, the United Nations and the European Union have been completed. In a next step, more pertinent organisational, legal, and political framework conditions regarding the applicability of DRIVER solutions will be focused.
