We are living in a time of crisis which has cascaded through
society. Financial crisis has led to an economic crisis of
recession and unemployment; an ensuing fiscal crisis over
government deficits and austerity has led to a political crisis
which threatens to become a democratic crisis. Borne unevenly, the
effects of the crisis are exacerbating class and gender
inequalities. Rival interpretations a focus on austerity and
reduction in welfare spending versus a focus on financial crisis
and democratic regulation of finance are used to justify radically
diverse policies for the distribution of resources and strategies
for economic growth, and contested gender relations lie at the
heart of these debates. The future consequences of the crisis
depend upon whether there is a deepening of democratic
institutions, including in the European Union. Sylvia Walby offers
an alternative framework within which to theorize crisis, drawing
on complexity science and situating this within the wider field of
study of risk, disaster and catastrophe. In doing so, she offers a
critique and revision of the social science needed to understand
the crisis.
