Crises have been studied in many disciplines and from diverse
perspectives for at least 150 years. Yet recent decades have seen a
marked increase in the crisis literature, reflecting growing
awareness of crisis phenomena from the 1970s onwards. Responding to
this mainstream literature, this edited collection makes six key
innovations. First, it distinguishes between crises as event and
crises as process, as well as crises as accidental events or as the
result of system-generated processes. Second, it distinguishes
crises that can be managed through established crisis-management
routines from crises of crisis management. Third, it focuses on the
symptomatology of crisis, i.e., the challenge of moving crisis
symptoms to understanding underlying causes as a basis for decisive
action. Fourth, it goes beyond the cliche that crises are both
threat and opportunity by distinguishing valid accounts of the
origins and present nature of a crisis, from more speculative
accounts of what potentially exists. Fifth, it explores how crises
can disorient conventional wisdom, thus provoking efforts to
interpret and learn about crises and draw lessons after a crisis
has ended. Finally, the sixth element is the move away from the
conventional focus on executive authorities and disaster management
agencies, instead turning attention towards how other social forces
construe crises and attempt to learn from them. Offering important
insights into the pedagogy of crisis throughout, this collection
will offer excellent reading to both researchers and postgraduate
students.
