Preface
A crisis can be defined as a situation in which physical, social, economic, and political incidents disrupt the normal order, and which may produce negative societal consequences. Crises often necessitate that significant decisions are made under the normal system and society, and these decisions typically take place in the context of significant time pressure and stress. Although a crisis describes a turning point in life, this milestone can represent a positive change and an opportunity for growth. However, dangers are associated with crises in terms of difficulties and destruction. In this sense, crises represent the end of a period and the beginning of a new era, and they bring with themselves both risks and opportunities.
Therefore, successful crisis management is possible when both risks and opportunities are managed. Importantly, an approach to crisis management that focuses only on risks, dangers, and negative issues contributes to an inadequate crisis solution. In turn, this produces alienation, hopelessness, disrupted relationships, and destructive consequences. Contrastingly, a crisis management approach that focuses on the opportunities arising from the crisis provides a positive crisis solution. In this study, crises and their political and economic effects were discussed, drawing on the statements of experts with different dimensions and perspectives.
To elucidate the concept of crisis from a multidisciplinary standpoint, various bodies of research were included in this study, each of which was produced by academicians from Hakkâri University’s (HU) Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences. Each academician discussed the concept of crisis in the context of different case studies. It should also be noted that this study was supported through the coordination of scientific research projects at HU. With these considerations in mind, the authors and we would like to express our gratitude to HU’s Rector, Prof. Dr. Ömer Pakiş, who contributed to and supported the study.
