occurs where the amount of time available for an urgent response is highly restricted and;

occurs where it was previously unanticipated and therefore surprises the members of the integration project (Boin et al. 2005).

A crisis can take several forms and affect different dimensions in a given context. However, its spatial dimension is rarely limited to a single domain or issue. Scholars have stressed the notion of ‘transboundary crisis’ to label a problem that plays out across one or many types of boundaries (Boin et al. 2013). If the notion of a complex emergency describes the shifting process occurring in the humanitarian system and implies the need to shape policies accordingly, a transboundary crisis better expresses the complexity of the reality and, more importantly, its practical implications. Therefore, it can be considered a comprehensive and workable label that can efficaciously serve the purposes of this research.

The major categories of man-made and natural disaster, whatever forms these may assume, definitively cross many boundaries. The management and resolution of such crises require a wide range of actions, mediators, and resources, and imply long-term effects that can lead to new forms of political and social organisation and can re-shape the present security conditions.
