Collapsing bridges and buildings kill people and often leave many more injured. Such disasters do not happen out of the blue nor are they purely technical in nature since construction and maintenance are subject to safety regulation and enforcement by governmental agencies. The book analyses four relevant cases from Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Germany. Rather than stressing well-known pathologies of bureaucracy as a potential source of disaster, this book argues, learning for the sake of prevention should aim at neutralizing threats to integrity and strengthening a sense of responsibility among public officials. Wolfgang Seibel is Professor of Politics and Public Administration at the University of Konstanz, and an Adjunct Professor of Public Administration at the Hertie School in Berlin, Germany. His new book is an outcome of the research project "Black Swans in Public Administration: Rare Organizational Failure with Severe Consequences" funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). 001431253 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001431253 650_0 $$aPublic administration. 001431253 650_0 $$aBuilding failures. 001431253 650_0 $$aBridge failures. 001431253 650_0 $$aBuilding failures$$xPrevention. 001431253 650_0 $$aBridge failures$$xPrevention. 001431253 650_6 $$aAdministration publique (Science) 001431253 650_6 $$aConstructions$$xEffondrement. 001431253 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001431253 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aSeibel, Wolfgang, 1953-$$tCollapsing structures and public mismanagement.$$dBasingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan, 2021$$z9783030678173$$w(OCoLC)1255864025 001431253 852__ $$bebk 001431253 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-67818-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.2 001431253 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1431253$$pGLOBAL_SET 001431253 980__ $$aBIB 001431253 980__ $$aEBOOK 001431253 982__ $$aEbook 001431253 983__ $$aOnline 001431253 994__ $$a92$$bISE
