Cross border crisis management concept : Establishing cooperation measures between Dutch and German veterinary authorities in animal disease control
The objective of this thesis consisted in the development of cross border cooperation management in animal disease control. Particularly, the experiences and intentions of public and private stakeholders have been identified and inluded in this research in order to find out to what degree cross border cooperation can be regarded as a benefit to national animal disease control strategies. By means of a case study, the research activities were focussed on Dutch and German experts on Classical Swine Fever control. Based on the results, a Cross border cooperation concept has been developed that pr... Mehr ...

The objective of this thesis consisted in the development of cross border cooperation management in animal disease control. Particularly, the experiences and intentions of public and private stakeholders have been identified and inluded in this research in order to find out to what degree cross border cooperation can be regarded as a benefit to national animal disease control strategies. By means of a case study, the research activities were focussed on Dutch and German experts on Classical Swine Fever control. Based on the results, a Cross border cooperation concept has been developed that provides veterinary authorities with a standardization of all steps that have to be taken for the preparation and evaluation of cross border cooperation measures. This study was provided with a multi‐disciplinary approach. Elements from different scientific disciplines have been combined to an integrated concept. Initially, expert elicitation methods have been used to collect data and information on the subject of interest. Relevant stakeholders have been interviewed before an expert survey was made to validate the results. In the following section of the thesis the prosperity of cross border animal disease control was illustrated by means of quantitative simulation. The aim of this study was to compare the epidemiological and the economic effects of recent strategies against livestock diseases with cross border cooperation strategies. The main findings of this chapter give insight in the basic differences in CSF control in the Dutch German border area. The aim of the next chapter was to contribute to a standardization of data and information transfer in cross border crisis management. The guidelines presented in this section were developed in order to improve the identification of data or information gaps while preparing cross border cooperation plans for crisis management. In a second step these gaps had to be repaired before cross border cooperation could be implemented into national animal disease regulation. The concept ...
