| Resumo: | This thesis discusses the role and weight of the European Union institutions and Member States in the responses to three crises whose epicenters are located beyond the EU borders. To do so, it examines the responses to the 2010 Icelandic ash cloud crisis, the 2013-2016 Ebola Virus Disease outbreak, and the 2019 humanitarian crisis triggered by Cyclones Idai and Kenneth. By combining social network analysis with semi-structured interviews with crisis managers, this thesis provides novel empirical evidence that contributes to understanding how theories of European integration, global public goods, or resource dependencies come into play in crisis management efforts. Its findings show the multilateral nature of EU crisis responses as well as the relevance of supranational EU bodies in these efforts. They also suggest that there is room for improvement in the coordination between the supranational and Member State levels for crisis management purposes. |
