Crisis Management in Crisis?

Crisis management, it seems, is unable to abate escalating crises in increasingly risk-dominated economies. Is the endeavor of reconciling economics, politics, and public duty itself in crisis or still in a strategic learning mode? This paper outlines four research-oriented problematics that suggest the latter state of play, assuming that crises represent "wicked" problems for oligarchs. It draws on examples of what may have been learnt recently and points to that which needs more, much more, attention. Crises as a dilemma, opportunity, or both is still an unresolved and relatively undebated issue.
