The Many Dimensions of a Crisis
Författare
Summary, in English
The many dimensions of a crisis:
A crisis is an event that can have very negative consequences, which can sometimes be long term or even permanent. In the media, there are regular references to a “climate crisis”, “refugee crisis” or “health crisis”. But, what does the term “crisis” actually mean? And can a deepened understanding of crises contribute to future humanitarian initiatives?
