This open access book explores a special species of trouble
afflicting modern societies: creeping crises. These crises evolve
over time, reveal themselves in different ways, and resist
comprehensive responses despite periodic public attention. As a
result, these crises continue to creep in front of our eyes. This
book begins by defining the concept of a creeping crisis, showing
how existing literature fails to properly define and explore this
phenomenon and outlining the challenges such crises pose to
practitioners. Drawing on ongoing research, this book presents a
diverse set of case studies on: antimicrobial resistance, climate
change-induced migration, energy extraction, big data, Covid-19,
migration, foreign fighters, and cyberattacks. Each chapter
explores how creeping crises come into existence, why they can
develop unimpeded, and the consequences they bring in terms of
damage and legitimacy loss. The book provides a proof-of-concept to
help launch the systematic study of creeping crises. Our analysis
helps academics understand a new species of threat and
practitioners recognize and prepare for creeping crises.
