Contesting the frame: opposition leadership and the global financial crisis / Crisis leadership in terra incognita: why meaning making is not enough / Framing dilemmas in the quest for successful crisis management / Managing trans-boundary crises: leadership challenges for the EU Presidency / Public leadership and the social construction of economic catastrophe / Paul 't Hart and Karen Tindall -- Paul 't Hart and Karen Tindall -- Isaac Ijjo Donato -- Anastasia Glushko -- Justin Pritchard -- Adam Masters -- Natalie Windle -- Tully Fletcher -- Matthew Laing and Karen Tindall -- Michael Jones -- Faith Benjaathonsirikul -- Brendan McCaffrie -- Arjen Boin -- Allan McConnell -- Bengt Sundelius -- Paul 't Hart and Karen Tindall.

"Managing public uncertainty and anxiety is vital in coping with financial crises. This requires not just prompt action but, most of all, persuasive communication by government leaders. At the same time, the very occurrence of such crises raises acute questions about the effectiveness and robustness of current government policies and institutions. With the stakes being so high, defining and interpreting what is going on, how and why it happened, and what ought to be done now become key questions in the political and policy struggles that crises invariably unleash. In this volume, we study how heads of government, finance ministers and national bank governors in eight countries as well as the EU engage in such 'framing contests', and how their attempts to interpret the cascading events of the economic downturn were publicly received. Using systematic content analysis of speeches and media coverage, this volume offers a unique comparative assessment of public leadership in times of crisis."--Publisher's description
