Evading Emergency: Strengthening Emergency Response Through Integrated Pluralistic Governance, Lance A. Gable

This Article examines the significant governance challenges that arise during responses to public health emergencies and proposes a new multifaceted strategy-integrated pluralistic governance-to address these challenges.

The governance function has particular import for public health emergencies because pandemics, hurricanes, and other disasters can have profoundly divisive social and political consequences.
