Critical Infrastructures and Critical Flows : Synonymous notions or useful complementary perspectives for breaking silo-structures?

Lindström, Josefin LU orcid ; Rydén Sonesson, Tove LU and Johansson, Jonas LU (2021) SRA Annual Meeting 2021
Abstract
Critical infrastructures (CIs) and the services they provide are imperative for the functioning of societies. CI safety and security have historically been addressed and regulated on a sectoral basis, despite their interdependent nature. These silo-structures potentially hinder achieving resilience from a system-of-systems governance perspective. Cross-sectoral initiatives addressing interdependencies have been made in, e.g. Sweden, the EU, and the US; however, many issues remain. Here the notion of Critical Flows (CFs) is explored as potentially helpful for breaking silo structures and achieving cross-sectoral governance of CIs.
