Crisis? How Is That a Crisis!?
In: Contributions to the history of concepts, Band 12, Heft 2, S. 12-28
ISSN: 1874-656X
Crisis has become such a ubiquitous word that its discriminatory power is diminished
across various disciplines. It challenges the word-concept relationship
inasmuch as it is associated with a host of partner words that imbue crisis
with divergent meanings. Not least, it stretches between major upheavals and
minor disturbances, often employed with calculating or rhetorical dramatic
effect. This article explores both professional and vernacular usages of "crisis"
and notes the distinction between theories of crisis and ideologies of crisis.
It then turns to examining two domains closely linked to the language of
crisis: Marxist analyses of capitalism, and legitimation problems. The latter is
explored particularly through Seymour Martin Lipset and Jürgen Habermas.
The role of crisis as filtered through different ideological families is indicated.
Finally, the relationship between the tipping-point connotations of crisis and
the finality drive of political decisions is considered.
Crisis? What Crisis?:Measuring Economic Crisis in Political Science
In: Krishnarajan , S 2019 , ' Crisis? What Crisis? Measuring Economic Crisis in Political Science ' , Quality and Quantity , vol. 53 , no. 3 , pp. 1479-1493 . https://doi.org/10.1007/s11135-018-0823-5
An influential body of scholarship in political science has investigated the impact of economic crisis on various political outcomes. The vast majority of these studies rely on annual growth rates (AGR) to specify economic crisis. I argue that this canonical approach comes with several logical shortcomings. It leads to misguided impressions of crisis severity; it makes no distinction between rapid expansion years and rapid recovery years; and it disregards the financial dimension of economic crises. I present and discuss three alternative approaches of measuring economic crisis, imported from economics: economic shocks, economic slumps, and measures of financial crises. Examples from the regime instability literature demonstrate that these alternative crisis measurements provide results that are theoretically more nuanced and empirically more robust. On this basis, the article encourages researchers to pay more attention to the way they measure economic crisis in general and to supplement the AGR approach with alternative crisis measures in particular.

Civilization crisis and urban crisis ; Crisis civilizatoria y crisis urbana
The article addresses the relationship between the civilizational crisis and urban crises that cities have experienced in recent decades. In the West, it went from the urban crisis, located in the social economic system and political legitimacy, to the "disappearance of cities", in which the community has ceased to be founded in the proximity or local population density. In Latin America, the urban crisis of the twentieth century in Europe and the United States is rather the normal situation of its cities, and the civilizational crisis has worsened this situation, characterized by informality and the lack of adequate housing. ; El artículo aborda la relación entre la crisis civilizatoria y las crisis urbanas que las ciudades han experimentado en las últimas décadas. En Occidente se pasó de la crisis urbana, ubicada en el sistema económico social y la legitimidad política, a la "desaparición de las ciudades", en la cual la comunidad ha dejado de estar fundada en la proximidad o la densidad demográfica local. En América Latina, la crisis urbana del siglo XX en Europa y Estados Unidos resulta más bien la situación normal de sus ciudades, y la crisis civilizatoria ha empeorado esta situación, caracterizada por la informalidad y la carencia de viviendas adecuadas.

Crisis? What crisis?
In: 1874-2033 ; The Broker, 3. (2008)
The enormous financial and economic crisis unfolding in December 2008, combined with other urgent issues that can only be solved on a global level – the energy, food and climate crises – is a potential turning point toward an alternative system, perhaps another paradigm. But the actual form this will take is still unknown. Will it be a system based on global justice and sustainable development? Or will we fall back into a struggle of all against all, which is already happening in the fray of global society? Academics, NGOs and policymakers from the development cooperation field could and should seize the opportunities that the current wave of hope and high expectations offers. Although development aid is increasingly ill-equipped to tackle the problems that count, wider global answers and cross-border actions and responses are increasingly important. It is in this global realm that the big chances lie for real changes for the world's poor, for the millions affected by violent conflict and for the planet at large.

Gives a possible historical account from 2035 of the disintegration of the systems of welfarism and social security, due to the halt in growth during the 1970's and 1980's and the supposed crash of the world banking system in 1988 through Third World countries defaulting on their loans. (DCL)
