“…Before AFAD, there was no national‐level plan for disaster preparedness or response in Turkey (Ganapati ). Following the 2011 earthquakes, AFAD HQ initiated a process to create the Disaster Response Plan of Turkey (DRPoT), which would ‘identify the basic principles of response planning before, during, and after a disaster’ (AFAD , p. 50).…”

Managing disasters generally demands multiorganizational collaboration and collaborative skills. In Turkey, observed shortcomings in disaster management collaboration prompted a reorganization of the disaster management system that led to the emergence of a centralized hybrid network. The network governance literature generally heralds decentralized organization and shared network governance, which facilitate collaboration by maximizing trust and legitimacy and minimizing power imbalances. Through the use of 24 semi-structured interviews, this article's objective is to assess the applicability of prior theoretical assumptions regarding interorganizational collaboration in a political-administrative context different from that in which they were originally developed. The study contributes to the theoretical discussion about how political-administrative system attributes might influence interorganizational disaster management collaboration. The results suggest that 'tailor-fitting' interorganizational network designs to the political-administrative culture can be beneficial for collaborative disaster management. Furthermore, results suggest that more effort should be devoted to examining cases where actors manage to overcome barriers to collaboration despite challenging institutional and political-administrative landscapes.

“…successful linkage requires considerable investment in political and administrative capacity building (Waugh & Liu, 2014). Central government agencies cannot always provide housing that is appropriate for the culture (Ganapati, 2014). Disaster recovery involves social, economic, political, cultural, and physical processes in cultural contexts that are often very diverse.…”
