- Summary:
- Chronic Crises examines what happens, socially and politically, when the end life of a disaster is characterized by a perpetual state of crisis dynamics. It shows how public and political actors have responded to six global chronic crises: famine, waves of multiple starvation deaths, antimicrobial resistance, HIV/AIDS, climate change, and COVID-19. From this analysis, the book draws policy recommendations and practical advice for crisis management dealing with chronic crises moving forward.
