Executive Politics in Times of Crisis is a highly relevant and an incredibly timely book.

Not only does the volume provide useful insights about the challenges faced by governments

in dealing with the various ongoing crises, it also makes a convincing case that

in times of crisis, political science and public administration as scholarly disciplines can

no longer afford the 'luxury' of remaining in the cosy confines of their currently established

disciplinary boundaries. - West European Politics
