The discussion of critical infrastructures is dominated by the use
of the interlinked concepts "criticality", "vulnerability",
"resilience", and "preparedness and prevention". These terms can be
detected in public discourse as well as in scientific debates.
Often, they are used simultaneously in a normative as well as in a
descriptive way. The PhD candidates of the interdisciplinary
Research Training Group KRITIS at Technische Universitat Darmstadt
examine these concepts systematically one by one and discuss the
links between them. They give a critical overview over the uses and
limitations of these concepts. Informed by the approaches in
Science and Technology Studies, they focus on the interrelatedness
of technology and society. The book aims at creating a common
ground for interdisciplinary infrastructure research. The authors
are from history, philosophy, political science, civil engineering,
urban and spatial planning and computer science.
