Polycrisis
has become a widely used concept. Politicians, public intellectuals and
academics alike are drawing on it when describing our current global situation.
In my article ‘Dissecting
the Polycrisis, Charting the Conceptual Terrain of Enquiry’, recently
published in the Journal of Balkan and Near Eastern Studies, I explore
how we can distinguish between fundamental crises on one hand, and crises,
which are simply the concrete manifestations of those deeper, structural crises
on the other. In this blog post, I summarise the main conceptual and empirical
findings of the article.
