Crisis and crisis management: A contribution to a conceptual & terminological delimitation

Abstract

Crisis and crisis management are relatively new concepts in Serbia, both in theory and in practice. Their implementation is accompanied by terminological confusion regarding basic phenomena - emergency situations, crises, conflicts and catastrophes, as well as various kinds of management attempts at managing uncertainties and hazards. This work is an attempted contribution to a conceptual and terminological delimitation in this field.

Kriza i krizni menadžment su relativno novi koncepti u Srbiji u teorijskom i praktičnom smislu. Njihova implementacija praćena je terminološkom konfuzijom koja se odnosi na osnovne fenomene - vanrednu situaciju, krizu konflikt i katastrofu, ali i različite vrste menadžmenta koji predstavljaju pokusaj da se upravlja neizvesnostima i opasnostima. Rad predstavlja pokušaj da se doprinese konceptualnom i terminološkom razgraničenju u ovoj oblasti.
