It is necessary to clarify and limit the role of politicians, even inside government itself, when it comes to the practical work -- reinforcing the concept of rule of law. The role of politicians should be to decide on the regulatory framework for the administration and civil society, not to involve themselves on the operational level.
The lessons from the Swedish tsunami disaster are all too relevant for many other organizations and situations. The risk of future disasters emphasizes the need for clarity, and focus on organizational main purposes -- objectives that cannot be achieved in centralized, top-down hierarchies.
