商品描述
Since the global financial crisis of 2008, there have been increasing frequency of global crises, including large-scale conflicts, the COVID-19 pandemic, the environmental crisis, and a general worsening of geopolitical tensions and structural inequality. Despite the global impact of these intersecting crises, the way in which they have been understood and responded to has been far from uniform. This edited volume focuses on the concept of 'crisis' through an interdisciplinary lens, analysing the term and comparing how it is being applied in different disciplines and across different sectors of society. The volume focuses on cases of crisis from Iceland, a small country with a high visibility in certain crises. This scope allows the contributors to cover a broad section of the Icelandic economy, government and society, offering a uniquely rounded analysis and extensive global comparison. It will be of great interest to scholars and students across different disciplines in social sciences, such as business, anthropology, sociology, change management, as well as practitioners and policymakers in the business of resilience and strategic crisis management.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
自2008年全球金融危機以來，全球危機的頻率不斷增加，包括大規模衝突、COVID-19疫情、環境危機，以及地緣政治緊張局勢和結構性不平等的普遍惡化。儘管這些交織危機對全球的影響深遠，但對於這些危機的理解和應對方式卻相差甚遠。本書編輯的這本專著通過跨學科的視角聚焦於「危機」的概念，分析這個術語並比較它在不同學科和社會各個領域中的應用。
本書專注於冰島的危機案例，這是一個在某些危機中具有高度能見度的小國。這一範疇使得貢獻者能夠涵蓋冰島經濟、政府和社會的廣泛部分，提供獨特而全面的分析以及廣泛的全球比較。對於社會科學中不同學科的學者和學生，如商業、人類學、社會學、變革管理，以及在韌性和戰略危機管理領域的從業者和政策制定者而言，這本書將引起極大的興趣。
