Although network analysis has gained much attention in emergency management studies, there are few systematic reviews of emergency management network studies in public administration. After reviewing 44 journals, this article identified and reviewed a total of 58 studies that conducted network analysis in the context of emergency management. Based on existing literature, this article summarizes the common and unique factors driving network formation and development, describes the structural characteristics of emergency management networks, and reports the performance measures that have been used to evaluate network performance. It concludes by addressing research gaps, presenting propositions and recommendations for future research, and highlighting implications for emergency management practice. The context of this review is emergency management, but the three network research streams focused upon—network formation and development, network properties, and network performance—are relevant to all management and policy domains. This review also underscores the need to further explore the dynamic process of network formation and outcomes of network relationships and structures.

尽管网络分析在应急管理研究中引起了广泛关注，但对公共行政应急管理网络研究的系统评价却很少。在审查了 44 种期刊后，本文确定并审查了总共 58 项在应急管理背景下进行网络分析的研究。本文在现有文献的基础上，总结了驱动网络形成和发展的共性和独特性因素，描述了应急管理网络的结构特征，并报告了用于评估网络性能的性能指标。最后，它解决了研究空白，提出了未来研究的主张和建议，并强调了对应急管理实践的影响。本次审查的背景是应急管理，但关注的三个网络研究流——网络形成和发展、网络属性和网络性能——与所有管理和政策领域相关。本综述还强调需要进一步探索网络形成的动态过程以及网络关系和结构的结果。
