Acknowledgments
I owe thanks to many individuals who have given me support during my work on this research. First I want to thank my professor Gunnar Helgi Kristinsson for initiating a new master program in political science that inspired my interest to go back to academia and discover how fascinating and rewarding academic research can be. I also want to thank him for his support, guidance, and keeping the faith in my work. I am thankful to Bengt Sundelius who brought me the key to crisis management research by inviting me to participate in a Swedish crisis management project. His mentorship and support of conference participation in the field of crisis management have been invaluable. I am also grateful for my Swedish group of inspiring and enthusiastic young scholars that I enjoyed much working with. They are Annika, Dan, Daniel, Fredrik, Jesper, Step
