Public Organization Review, 2015, vol. 15, issue 1, 16 pages

Abstract: This research examines the member dynamics of an inter-organizational national disaster management network in the Caribbean. Investigating the structure, functions, and member roles of a collaboration provides a foundation for comprehending better network relations. This analysis contributes to the public administration, disaster management, and network literatures by clarifying, to some degree, factors affecting member relationships in practice. This is important since the present environment surrounding disaster management is such that both governments and scholars are encouraging collaborative efforts among those responding to and impacted by catastrophic events.
