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.

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)

Managing crisis or crisis in crisis management? The influence of crisis on Greek and foreign companies that operate in Greece
In: Fragouli , E & Kolonia , M 2016 , ' Managing crisis or crisis in crisis management? The influence of crisis on Greek and foreign companies that operate in Greece ' Hellenic Open Business Administration Journal , vol 2 , no. 2 , pp. 61-100 .
The austerity packages that have been implemented in Greece since 2010 have been a factor causing political and social turbulence in the country. The present study investigates the influence of crisis on companies that operate in Greece and examines how this has been managed till now. An empirical study to a sample of employees working in Greek and foreign companies that operate in Greece demonstrates the preparedness or lack of preparedness of these companies and the implementation of possible crisis management plans and policies during the Greek economic crisis. The findings indicate that most of the Greek companies were not prepared and do not manage the crisis successfully. Foreign companies have managed the stressful situation more successfully. The paper suggests that crisis management requires strategic actions to be taken towards a desirable resolution to the problem. Managers have to develop organizational systems and be able to detect early warning signals and enable them to be better prepared for crisis events. This study has also shown that a crisis in managing crisis situation is possible to happen, when companies and corporate management teams do not develop crisis management plans on time.

From Crisis to Crisis: Democracy, Crisis and the Occupy Movement
In: Political studies review, Band 13, Heft 1, S. 46-58
ISSN: 1478-9302
For a movement that emerged to spotlight the crisis of liberal democracy, it did not take long for the Occupy Movement to find itself embroiled in its own democratic crisis. Occupy's story has exposed just how central or constitutive crises are to democracy. But is crisis such a deleterious thing? Though scholars of democracy have customarily given it a bad name, should we consider democracies to be in trouble when they are met with crisis, when they themselves create a crisis? According to the three volumes reviewed in this article, crises can have the potential to hamper and destroy democracies, but they can also possess the uncanny capacity to reinvigorate them. For scholars of democracy - whether they choose to define 'democracy' using a liberal, participatory, deliberative, or some other paradigm - it is perhaps this latter interpretation of crisis that may provide the best way to grapple with what comes next for democracy post-Occupy.
