New publication: ‘War as a singular crisis? An analysis of the singularity and continuity of crises using the example of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine’ - Susann Worschech

This article analyses Russia’s war against Ukraine according to the criteria of a singular crisis as formulated by Kraemer and Steg (2025), combining this approach with Charles Tilly's persective on crises, conflict and contentious politics. The article argues that the singular character of any crisis is strongly influenced by its spatial, temporal, and factual dimensions, which can blur the boundaries between crisis, normality, and ‘new normality’. Finally, it states that crisis response and the concept of resilience are also contingent and need to be integrated in our understanding of singular crises.
