Based on unique survey data and interviews in nineteen EU member states, this book explores the challenges the EU and its member states face in order to achieve more effective cooperation in the quest to better protect its citizens, namely in the critical field of civil protection. It provides insights to what kind of cooperative structures exist in Europe in this issue area—in single countries, between countries, and at the EU level. It shows how trust, shared norms, cooperative networks, and administrative culture determines how well the system functions, and determines the capacity to cooperate. It also analyses which divides in the EU that are the most challenging for future policy reforms.
