Kompletní popis

Recent years have made apparent we are living in a world of chronic crises: prolonged disasters that continue to impact people's lives long after their onset. Climate change, famine, and the COVID-19 pandemic represent a few of these disasters--instead of a return to "an accepted state of normalcy" in their wake, the ramifications continue to reverberate around the world. In Chronic Crises, Olivier Rubin examines what happens, socially and politically, when the end life of a disaster is characterized by a perpetual state of crisis dynamics. He identifies three distinct types of chronic crisis: seething chronic crises, such as famine and multiple starvation deaths; perpetual chronic crises, including antimicrobial resistance and climate change; and transitional chronic crises, exemplified by COVID-19 and HIV/AIDS. Rubin describes the nature of each category, including the underlying temporal dynamics, the disparate impacts in different parts of the globe and different social groups, and how communities adjust to the crises. He then analyzes the politics, investigating how the different features of the crisis types influence policymakers' attention and response, their ability and incentives to put chronic crises on the political agenda, and the prospects for implementing effective policies. Looking to the future, Rubin provides policy recommendations and practical advice for crisis management dealing with chronic crises moving forward.
