COVID provoked a multi-dimensional crisis that overwhelmed existing
concepts of social resilience that focus on a singular crisis. This
volume proposes an alternative. In The Coronavirus Crisis and Its
Teachings: Steps towards Multi-Resilience Roland Benedikter and
Karim Fathi first describe the pluri-dimensional characteristics of
the Coronavirus crisis. Then they draw the pillars for a more
"multi-resilient" Post-Corona world including socio-political
recommendations on how to generate it. The Coronavirus crisis has
proven to be a bundle crisis consisting of multiple, interconnected
crisis dimensions. Before Corona, most concepts of a "resilient
society" implied a rather isolated focus on only one crisis at a
time. Future preparedness in the 21st century will require a multi-
and transdisciplinary risk-management concept that the authors call
"multi-resilience". "Multi-resilience" means to systematically
enhance the universal resilience competencies of societies, such as
collective intelligence or overall responsiveness, making them
appliable to pluri-dimensional crisis contexts. If the Coronavirus
crisis in retrospect will have contributed to implementing
multi-resilience, then it will ultimately have contributed to
progress. This volume includes a Foreword by Jan Nederveen Pieterse
and an Afterword by Manfred B. Steger.
