“…2 In other cases, civil security also serves to capture the desired holistic and de-militarized conduct of crisis management and civil protection. Civil security, for example, was proposed as a new guiding concept for the transformation of Bulgaria's security architecture to be established as a third pillar alongside military-centred external security and police-focused internal security (Shalamanov et al, 2005). A slightly different reading becomes apparent in attempts by some analysts in the broader US discourse on 'homeland security' to suggest civil security as a useful concept to activate and inform citizens in the 'war on terror' by revitalizing and adapting experiences from civil defence programmes dating back to the Cold War (Dory, 2003).…”

“…The issues at stakes were complex, taking into account the shift from military to non-military threats and the increasing awareness of modern society about disasters and emergencies (Shalamanov et al, 2005). Yet, the transformation of CSGSs in the post-communist countries has been more comprehensive than in the OMS.…”

“…It can be maintained that civil security forms a specific and distinct sub-part of the entire security system of a country2, despite a certain level of interrelatedness with other sub-systems. CSSs can thus be distinguished from other security-related subsystems, such as the military or law enforcement (Shalamanov et al 2005). As such, civil security refers especially to extraordinary events, including vulnerability reduction, response and recovery measures (Dory 2003).…”

Response of Central European Civil Security Systems to the Economic Crisis

The public sector across Europe and elsewhere was affected by the economic crisis which fully unfolded in 2008. Considerable attention has been paid in the literature to the impacts of related budgetary cuts on social welfare, while some other areas remain largely under-researched. One of such areas is the so-called civil security, where no such endeavour has been attempted so far. In order to fill this gap, the paper examines the civil security systems of Central European countries (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary), employing a qualitative comparative analysis. Taking on the systems perspective, the article inquires how the stress posed by the economic crisis affected the civil security systems - their structure and financing. The paper builds on the findings from a 7th FP project, “ANVIL”, within which data on civil protection and disaster management systems were collected.

“…Seen from a systemic perspective, civil security can be understood as a sub-part of the whole security system of a country (Balabán et al 2008;Shalamanov 2005). Thus, it can be distinguished from other security-related sub-systems.…”

National civil security systems (CSSs) are powerful risk management tools. They do, however, sometimes fail to adjust, as e.g. the Fukushima disaster demonstrates. Understanding the (mal)adaptation of CSSs is thus crucial. Yet, comprehensive analyses of the evolution of CSSs are not common. It is the aim of this paper to fill this gap and, more importantly, to identify the main causes of changes. This paper investigates how the CSSs of the Central European countries (Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland) have changed since their democratic transition in 1989. We aim to understand the role of the main drivers of change leading to the adaptation of the CSSs. Specifically, the impact of the so-called focusing events is investigated that are identified based on the OFDA/CRED International Disaster Database. We base our work on a review of legal acts, documents and interviews with experts and practitioners. We find common patterns in all three countries with a specific crisis being constitutive for the CSS change on the one hand and with the 'paradigmatic policy change' of 1989/1990 not playing a decisive role.
