{"product_id":"9781642598087","title":"The Coronavirus Crisis and Its Teachings : Steps towards Multi-Resilience by Roland Benedikter","description":"COVID provoked a multi-dimensional crisis that overwhelmed existing concepts of social resilience that focus on a singular crisis. This volume proposes an alternative.   In The Coronavirus Crisis and Its Teachings: Steps towards Multi-Resilience Roland Benedikter and Karim Fathi first describe the pluri-dimensional characteristics of the Coronavirus crisis. Then they draw the pillars for a more \"multi-resilient\" Post-Corona world including socio-political recommendations on how to generate it. The Coronavirus crisis has proven to be a bundle crisis consisting of multiple, interconnected crisis dimensions.   Before Corona, most concepts of a \"resilient society\" implied a rather isolated focus on only one crisis at a time. Future preparedness in the 21st century will require a multi- and transdisciplinary risk-management concept that the authors call \"multi-resilience\". \"Multi-resilience\" means to systematically enhance the universal resilience competencies of societies, such as collective intelligence or overall responsiveness, making them appliable to pluri-dimensional crisis contexts. If the Coronavirus crisis in retrospect will have contributed to implementing multi-resilience, then it will ultimately have contributed to progress.   This volume includes a Foreword by Jan Nederveen Pieterse and an Afterword by Manfred B. Steger.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56305018077557,"sku":"9781642598087","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781642598087.jpg?v=1762796709","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781642598087","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
