The master thesis is focused on crisis management during the covid-19 pandemic.

The aim of the work is to describe what the crisis management in this area looked like, how the interdepartmental cooperation looked like, and what impact it had on the facilities themselves and subsequently on the families. The diploma thesis is embedded in various concepts of crisis management, but also interdepartmental cooperation and strategic governance. As a part of elaboration of the topic, eight expert interviews were conducted, which are supplemented by an analysis of public policy documents (eg selected government pandemic measures, other government documents, methodologies, etc.).

The pandemic measures were thus often unclear, and the explanations came with considerable delays. At the...
