Embedded Files
Crisis Governance Observatory UK (CGO-UK) is an independent research platform examining how governments govern crises and risk. It was established in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which exposed persistent weaknesses in crisis governance, decision-making under pressure, and institutional learning.
We seek to support clearer understanding of these failures, with the aim of informing better preparedness for future crises, including future pandemics.
CGO-UK publishes various outputs relating to crisis governance, including articles, policy briefs, explainers and crisis governance commentary.
Core Research Themes
Our research focus sits within the following core research areas:
Preparedness & State Capacity
Crisis Authority & Emergency Power
Evidence, Expertise & Political Judgement
Territorial Governance & Multi-Level Coordination
Crisis Communication & Public Trust
Together, these themes provide an integrated framework for analysing crisis governance before, during, and after emergencies.
