Emergency management, specifically disaster management, has attracted international and domestic public administration scholars since the twentieth century. Collaborative emergency management also becomes a popular concept to academics and practitioners. However, studies examining the overall picture about disaster management research in Taiwan related to public administration are still limited. We are also not sure what current collaboration-oriented disaster management research concern about. This paper aims to fill this gap through revisiting disaster management papers, research projects supported by governments, doctoral dissertations, and master theses in Taiwan during recent 13 years (2000-2012). Two main research questions are proposed: (1) what are the trend and position of public administration-related disaster management research? And (2) what research themes do collaboration-oriented disaster management research particularly concern? The findings present both public administration-related and collaboration-oriented disaster management studies in Taiwan are still limited but keep growing, which implies disaster management is a developing research field worth for Taiwanese public administration scholars to expand. Also, citizen participation, public-private partnership, and horizontal cross-agency collaboration are top three research themes among all collaboration-related disaster management studies. Finally, this paper suggests paying more attention and studying further on the issues of central-local government collaboration, international collaboration, collaborative experiences in other countries, and military participation in the future. |
