Community and Crisis
The Community & Crisis research project examines how communities experience, respond to, and can become resilient toward crisis.
Started in 2017, this project brings together and hopes to build on the work by Hayek Program scholars on the challenges associated with disaster relief and recovery; the economic effects of extended wars and post-conflict societal reconstruction; the effectiveness of humanitarian aid; and, the political and social responses to severe economic downturns.
