Finnish crisis management has become more challenging after the Cold War. The country is now considered increasingly vulnerable as it faces a diversified set of threats. These changing perceptions are reflected in substantial doctrinal changes: a broader security agenda and a new foreign policy line with crisis management as one of the central foci, guided by national defence priorities and constrained by economic imperatives. The ever‐present resource scarcity has not hindered organizational changes and improvements in the Finnish capacity for crisis prevention and response. Future enhancement of Finnish crisis management requires the development of international structures and the creation of a knowledge community of academics and practitioners.

Despite their unstable nature, crises are frequently defined as opportunities for managers to make strategic decisions in terms of bringing new configurations into play. According to this perspective, research is undertaken to discover new forms taken on by organisations during times of crisis. Relying on the experience of Local Centres of Community Services in Quebec during the ice storm of 1998, the results of this research permitted us to demonstrate three archetypes of crisis management collectivists, integrators and reactive types, each with the specific characteristics and imperatives as defined by Miller (1987). These consist of leadership, strategies, structures and environments. The research also permitted us to establish participants' appreciation of the performance of their organisation and of the managers dealt with the crisis. Finally, we will discuss the importance of applying theories of configuration in the field of crisis management and several promising areas of research in this field.

Abstract
The fundamental need for safety in schools requires research-based and trauma-informed strategies for implementing crisis management plans (CMPs). Beyond the immediate harm, longer-term potential outcomes of crises are psychological trauma and damage to the reputation for safety of the school, leading to staff attrition. An effective CMP involves (a) planning, (b) communication, (c) protocols for immediate action, and (d) protocols specific to different types of school crises. School crises can occur on the organizational level, such as natural disasters or shootings; community level, such as bullying or community violence; or individual level, such as suicide, pregnancy, or family changes. This article incorporates research from the business sector as well as education, social work, and psychology to describe the vital components of a school CMP and the role of the school mental health staff. School mental health staff must be central to development and implementation of a trauma-informed school CMP that incorporates prevention, communication, and different protocols for the various types of crises.

AbstractThe experience of managing the COVID-19 and the migration crises in Hungary has been highly criticized in academic literature. The article delves deeper into the matter by scrutinizing the dual challenge of managing the given crises while facing disciplinary measures from the EU. The study uses the system approach to explain and predict the interactions between the affected nation states and the EU institutions in times of turbulent crises. The article's affirmations are inspired by the system approach and are substantiated by comparative findings of empirical studies. The article finds that disciplinary interventions are likely to increase autopoietic tendencies in the targeted member states. Disciplinary measures apparently add to the member states' challenges inevitably increasing self-reliance and autonomous decision-making.
