CRISIS EFFECT, SECURITY AND DEFENCE
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2009, Vol 32, Issue 3
Abstract
The crisis effect is not only what immediately results from a crisis, it is not only its “purposefulness”. The crisis effect consists of a dynamic and, most of the times, hard to be predicted enchainment of developments, destructions and reconstructions, deliquescence, reconfi gurations, appearances, re-appearances, or simple renewals on economic, political, social, informational and military fi eld. Crisis may be perceived as the highest level of confl ictuality of some systems and processes, as a critical threshold of the dysfunctions accumulated in time, which need a solution. From the mathematical perspective, a society’s development is shaped by non-linear equations, where unpredictable or the impossibility of absolute predictions and absolute certainties dominate. Therefore, it results that the crisis effect is just as complex and complicated as any other limit-situations, as any other threshold determining radical changes within the system. We are all afraid of crisis, but we all want the world to change itself, to transform, to move towards evolutions and better, safer and more prosperous stages. Everything related with the society – from small family communities to professional organisations, from informal structures to state, from state to alliances and coalitions – projects policies and strategies in order to get out of confl ictuality, some evolutions to the normal state, peace and prosperity. But policies and strategies make sense only in a dynamic world – therefore, contradictory and even confl ictual –, and their calling is controlling, or, more precisely, using confl ictuality for stability and security. This is one – and, maybe, the most important – paradoxes of this world.
