Sicherheit und Überleben der menschlichen Rasse hängt unmittelbar davon ab, wie mit den Nuklarwaffen von denen, die sie besitzen, umgegangen wird. Selbst wenn es zu einer nuklaren Abrüstung kommt (was unwahrscheinlich ist) oder wenn es neue Verteidigungssysteme gegen ballistische Flugkörper gibt, bleibt die nuklare Gefahr bestehen. Es kommt also darauf an, ein Krisenmenagement zu schaffen, das in einer nuklearen Krise wirksam ist. Dazu muß die politische Infrastruktur in den USA verbessert werden und durch ein wirkungsvolles command and control-System müssen die Verbindungen zwischen politischer und militärischer Ebene verstärkt werden. Das gilt auch für die Beziehungen zur UdSSR und für das Verhältnis zu den übrigen NATO-Partnern. (BIOst-BwD/Hie)

Until the first quarter of 2020, tourism was one of the fastest growing economic sectors in the world. However, given that it is one of the most disaster-affected sectors, it is not surprising that it was seriously affected by the global health crisis in early 2020. Natural disasters, health, political, technological and economic crises, military conflicts and terrorism threaten any tourist site, destination or company. In order to maintain the healthy growth of tourism, it is essential that tourist destinations and sites are safer and more secure, better prepared for potential disasters. Crisis management in tourism includes the development of measures, plans and manuals for timely response to adverse events in an adequate manner to minimize the negative impact on customers and the industry. A well-prepared destination and tourism business would also quickly plan and take the necessary action for recovery from a disaster.

Stock values and earnings of Ashland Oil and Exxon were analyzed to determine if a correlation existed between a rapid, positive management response and minimization of the financial impact following an oil spill. The results showed a positive correlation for the company that employed, what experts call, 'good'crisis management techniques.

The main purpose of this article is to contribute to the conceptual framework of EU crisis management. As an evolving and politically sensitive concept EU crisis management still lacks a solid conceptual and theoretical basis which undermines its credibility and performance. The research hypothesis is that the conceptual deficit in EU crisis management is first and foremost an ideological issue. EU crisis management has no adequate ideological basis and, subsequently, no adequate conceptual and strategic framework. The theoretical approach to define EU crisis management within the liberal school of international relations is examined and critically assessed. The main conclusion is that strengthening the ideological basis is a must for more effective conceptual, strategic and institutional development of EU crisis management. Finally, a Methodology for the validation of novel crisis management concepts is proposed. By testing alternative conceptual and governance models the innovative Methodology for strategic-level Concept Development and Experimentation (CD&E) could provide scientific support for the establishment of the European Union's crisis management system.

International crises, 1945-79; emphasis on the Arab-Israel conflict.

The crisis management field has matured into a vibrant area of scholarship and teaching. This special issue of the Journal of Management Education takes stock of where we stand with respect to the teaching of crisis management. In her call for papers, the guest editor poses many challenging questions. Having studied crises for the past 25 years, the authors thought it would be useful to reflect on their own personal answers to these questions. They explore definitions of crisis, translate research on crises into skills and knowledge for students, and draw crisis management lessons from other disciplines. The authors discuss how to teach crisis management in a stand-alone course and how to integrate it into other areas of study, and emphasize the development of students' cultural sensitivity and emotional and experiential learning, as well as their conceptual understanding regarding crises.
