“…Interest in how municipalities are dealing with their increased responsibilities is reflected in a number of recent studies examining, for example, the use of relevant procedural and methodological tools (Strömgren & Andersson, ), how tasks are structured and distributed (Johansson, Denk, & Svedung, , ), assessments of crisis management capabilities (Nilsson, ), and co‐ordination among municipalities (Palm & Ramsell, ). These data contribute to a picture of what is being done and how the work is being structured.…”

Much of the responsibility for societal safety and crisis preparedness rests with local municipal leaders. These tasks are demanding, and often insufficiently prioritized and supported. The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing motivation to work with these issues, and to explore relationships among such factors. Two datasets, formed the basis of the analysis. From the qualitative analysis, a model was developed describing three main categories of motivational factors: person-related, organizational and activity-related. Actual crisis experience was found to influence factors in all three categories. Differences regarding motivational forces could be identified among different roles among officials. Self-determination theory is applied to the model, illustrating possible ways to influence motivation for work with preparedness issues.

“…Non-compliance is a critical risk factor when the prevailing aim is to reduce the risk of human exposure to resistant pathogens, which can necessitate reduced AMU with coinciding increased food production costs. The risk governance literature has looked at engaging people at different levels (64). However, ensuring accountability, and establishing trust between stakeholders at different levels, is rather complex (65,66).…”

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the biggest health threats for both humans and animals. This justifies the need for a conceptual framework that provides an integrated assessment of the measures and strategies that can be applied within livestock supply chains to reduce the risks of human exposure to resistant pathogens. The aim of this study is therefore to provide a comprehensive supplychain-based conceptualisation that describes the main measures and strategies to reduce the risks of human exposure to resistant pathogens. The conceptual framework presented in this study makes a distinction between on-farm and beyond-farm decision-making. The on-farm decision-making context focuses on the strategies that can reduce antimicrobial use. The beyond-farm decisionmaking context focuses on the prevalence of (pathogenic) microorganisms. The focus of this framework is on Western European food production systems. A panel of Dutch experts on antimicrobial issues assessed various aspects of the framework, including correctness, completeness and consistency. They concluded that the conceptual framework provides a sound theoretical basis for economic decision support for policy-makers to reduce the risks of human exposure to resistant pathogens originating from livestock supply chains.

“…For example, the design of public prevention strategies and regulation at the supranational level needs to provide a degree of flexibility to be adapted to the country-specific context in which these strategies need to be implemented and enforced. In countries with a high level of agro-ecological or socio-organisational diversity, an adaptive approach to biosecurity management and risk governance implementation at the subnational level needs to be considered (Johansson, Denk, and Svedung 2009;Cook et al 2010;Foxcroft and McGeoch 2011). Other studies have shown how the operationalisation of supranational policies at national, subnational and local level is essential for policies to be effective and meaningful (Sumberg 2005;Schut and Florin 2015).…”

“…However, there are also trade-offs between engagement with actor groups that have the greatest power and influence over biosecurity outcomes vis-à-vis inclusion of marginal actors as equals in the decision-making process (Mills et al 2011;Reed and Curzon 2015). In addition, effective communication of biosecurity risks becomes more complicated when actors have different levels of knowledge and handle risk and safety on the basis of diverse rationalities (Johansson, Denk, and Svedung 2009). Ensuring accountability and establishing trust between different actors at different levels are also complex activities (Gilmour, Beilin, and Sysak 2011;Drott et al 2013).…”

Invasive species such as Ambrosia (an annual weed) pose a biosecurity risk whose management depends on the knowledge, attitudes and practices of many stakeholders. It can therefore be considered a complex policy and risk governance problem. Complex policy problems are characterised by high uncertainty, multiple dimensions, interactions across different spatial and policy levels, and the involvement of a multitude of actors and organisations. This paper provides a conceptual framework for analysing the multi-level and multi-actor dimensions of Ambrosia management. Potential and existing public, private and publicprivate management strategies are identified to address the interests and needs of different actor groups across different levels. We conclude that policies that promote a mix of public and private Ambrosia management strategies may respond better to the needs and interests of different actor groups across different levels than a one-size-fits-all approach. However, multiple policy strategies need to be aligned in order to lead to synergies and spreading coherent messages to the public. Collaboration may enhance the likelihood of biosecurity management and risk governance of Ambrosia being adequately implemented and enforced.
