SOCIAL CRISIS. CONCEPTS AND POTENTIAL THREATS, VULNERABILITY AND RISKS
RIZESCU Marius
SRA Ph.D. Student, “Nicolae Balcescu” Land Forces Academy, Sibiu, Romania,
Abstract: For the purpose of this paper, we considered relevant the analysis of social crisis from a
conceptual level in terms of enhancement factors in the context of actual or potential threats.
The crises are events characterized by low probability and important consequences that threaten an
organization in its deepest purposes. The time for action in this case is short. And the answer is composed of a set of
conditioned responses, regarding as primary objectives: reducing and controlling the specific means of correction
that can be used in the violent conflicts, blocking violence, reducing tensions, hostilities freezing, solving the
political disputes, the creation of non-violent means for resolving the crisis.
For efficient managing of a social crisis only the effective information processors can take decisions, in
a scientific manner, in order to realize the targets by using some defined management techniques, individualized
and structured from social peacetime.
Key words: social crisis, potential threats, management of crisis
JEL classification: I39
1. Introduction
In the context of current geopolitical and geostrategic situation nations are no longer concerned
about the danger of aggression but rather preoccupied about large tensions and antagonisms and disputes
arising from ethnic conflicts, terrorism and organized crime, the proliferation of weapons, unauthorized
migration and economic disputes.
The shape that addresses serious problems facing mankind today implies the existence of a global
vision, which integrates social trends, economic, military and environmental, taking into consideration all
factors in assessing a political and strategic logic. Of course, to prevent these hazards and reduce
enhancement factors and risks that may occur, it is necessary to maintain an effective response capability
and a steady state level, regionally and globally.
To the threats of "niche" type insurgent autonomist, ethnic violence, fundamentalist jihads,
separatist wars, urban guerrilla and rural crisis such as terrorist policy must respond to active
involvement, even with military means [1]. Gulf War and Civil War Serbia-Kosovo, initially described
with the term crisis or conflict, have shattered the initial state of euphoria peaceful period following the
Cold War and turned into an open war, which continued a period of time, causing huge material damage
and many casualties. The same thing happened in Iraq, Lebanon and more recently in Afghanistan.
Knowing the causes of crisis must include all forms of manifestation of their analysis, impartial and
appreciating it as accurately as possible, without bias or emotion, regarding the share of each type of
contradictory economic, political, legal, ethnic, religious within those situations.
Crisis prevention has become a key concept in the debate until the new structure of peace and
security in Europe. Theatre of war in former Yugoslavia has shown us that Europe is not sufficiently
prepared to handle crises that may occur within it. Despite the widespread opinion that it must urgently
improve procedures for crisis prevention, the idea remains a sensitive issue and is not exempted from
criticism.
The reservations expressed no concern of his goals but how to put it into practice. Some critics
include those who tend to associate the ideas of crisis prevention and management associated with the
establishment of a system of collective security. They were concerned not only about the feasible extent
of such a system, but also about the extent to which it is desired; there is fear involved in a war. These
fears are added concern for the loss of national sovereignty. Those who make these criticisms do not
expect the realization of the conditions involving the creation and effective functioning of a security
structure. They reckon that the moral improvement in the political climate is, for now, far from being
developed enough for a collective security system to operate successfully. Own national interests are still
far from being located on the same plane with the concept of welfare and stability of the international
community. Lately, the idea that a multipolar system with a larger number of crises is more unstable than
one bipolar, is increasingly convening.

Crises were a dynamic, in most cases, so fast that sometimes they run out of control. In the first
decade of XXI century, the most dangerous crisis such as international terrorism, economic crises, social,
political and likely will further cause serious disturbances of public order. Specifically, they could be the
following: acts of terrorism of all kinds; separatist actions;-diversionary terrorist actions, sabotage,
blocking civil or military, tract of land transport, shipping, rail and strategic communications, system
national power; actions that are meant to destabilize the rule of law.
2. Social Crisis Management
Among the most important factors boosting the social crisis we call politics, fraudulent
appropriation of socially produced wealth and disrupting the violent forms of power relationships.
a) politics
The original source of any social crisis is politics, since it is the most obvious sign of
disaggregation politic social system [2].
Politics alter the nation's productive function, also the ability to produce products and use
resources according to the needs of people, organizations and communities.
Economic crisis, the consequence of actions politics, social processes generate dysfunctions,
bringing to the surface incompatibilities between people and paving the political class and socio-political
interests clash, threatening the social integration of people.
Management office politics destroys the nation, also the organizations with management
functions, the rationality of the state, which is transformed into a "powerhouse" or an obedient to another
center of power. Politicians are not able to process social information and political decisions, one-sided
and partisan social processes generate dysfunctional, with consequences Crushers. They have a
proverbial fear from the nation's military power, because social order deprives them of any opportunities
to acquire wealth produced through social violence [3].
Politics – which is the expression of ideologies involved in crisis management (governance) the
social - distort the political action, radicalize social action and cause tensions and conflicts. The actions of
aggressive or ineffective politicians divide the nations into parties, contributing to the emergence of tiny
parties, aggressive, which determined the trend of strong measures parties, parties that are assuming the
exclusive role as the sole alternative, some parties maintain the incompatibilities between the ideologies
that build political power.
Politics generate the most favorable environment for the appearance of coups (different kinds).
They are initiated, usually, from the top – by the politicians which are hostile to the political power, with
the help of the obedient political elites or even lower up by professional bodies (unions), supported
mostly by opposition politicians and by the military .
b) fraudulent misappropriation of wealth produced socially
The inefficient or violent ways of managing social needs create critical situations for a nation in a
context where politics control economics [4]. In this case, the keys of the economy (resources) are
controlled by the government people that are driven by violent or ineffective ideologies, which sends the
economics into chaos [5].
The ways in which policy-makers manage economics create two overlapping countries: over, the
legally country – meaning the socio-political groups that have the law and the strength - and the real
country - meaning professional bodies, which produce and are deprived of resources. In both cases, in
order to require political decisions, there are induced increasing doses of authoritarianism, it means that
the constraint the rule and the freedom becomes an exception.
These situations generate tension against power or lower violence, defined as mass violence. It is
individualized by riots or revolution and designed by the political power "reform" or overthrow the "old
order". The rebellion and revolution are types of violence which are involving large masses of people and
express in the highest degree, the existence of a social crisis.
The history of so-called revolution reveals that the masses are controllable can be integrated
under the control of hostile political power forces or can be changed into maneuver mass. The mass
violence generate other forms of violence that are marked by: the foreign interference in intern affairs,
diversion-terrorist actions from political power or socio-political groups that fights for its fall, grooming
and information actions, challenges and attacks against the state institutions.
c) disrupting in violent forms of the power relationships
The balance of power is structured in violent ways in the context of ideologies crisis. So, it is the
inability of the socio-political groups that have the power to manage the nation by social decisions.

The crisis of ideologies becomes the source of aggression that aims the community spirit, causing
an identity crisis, correlated with a management crisis - or the legitimacy crisis of the political power.
Such situations create problems-effect onto the self-consciousness of "subjects" and create a socio-
cultural crises that endanger the social integration of people (socialization) within the organizations.
The most prone nations to the violent restructuring of power relations are those dominated by an
exclusive ideology or by a corrupt and incompetent political power, which generates totalitarian regimes.
In such cases the nation is split into parallel societies, one of which is considered normal (official) and
the others that are defying it. The intervention of the armed forces for the management of critical
situations is, in essence, a usurpation of the decision power, which is the prerogative of socio-political
factor. The individualization of the power centers that generate crisis allows identification of the weak
socio-political groups [6].
The violent ways of structuring relations of power create relations of power between political
power and body's production of social values (the people). They reflect the confrontation between
processors of information that cannot overcome the ideological positions.
The violent relationships of power individualize different "power centers" - internal and external
and generate different types of confrontation and structure a new type of management, political-military
leadership.
The loss of power resources requires the political power to resort at violence, so-called top
violence. It is peculiar to a political power that is seized by the political. This oligarchy centralizes
decision, brings the nation out of decision and requires models that cannot support and maintain than by
force. Thus, the armed forces (army, secret information structures of the state and forces of maintaining
public order) are processed in the police force, by which political power set up terror. The violent
destructuring of power relationships generate, usually, military confrontation [7], between different
national centers of power - the horizontal confrontation or between the political power and other domestic
centers of power - the vertical confrontation.
A violent political power determines the involvement of armed forces in managing such a
situation, by the delegation of power, but also by usurpation of political power. The clearest imbalance
form of the power relationships is found at the nations that support the establishment of totalitarian
regimes, dictatorships.
The armed forces become managers of power in a socio-political contexts that impose strength
measures or when political forces are not able to manage the nation.
The military factor may determine the balance of power in situations where the military elites are
obedient or support some groups which are faced to gain political power or access to power. The
determination of these relationships is made by influence, blackmail, replacement or acquisition of the
civil power by force or usurping the power by violence.
Also, it may arise the potential risk situations [8], that degenerate into a serious crisis of the
social, economic or political system, with damage to the state security and national defense.
We list a few of them:
a) Settling of accounts between mafia camps that engage in conflict and other non-employed
persons for that the confrontation with the security forces is a simply fun. The engaging of children in
such conflicts complicates the activity of forces. The participation and other criminals elements,
combined with the actions of internal and external hostile forces may result in destabilization of some
areas;
b) Mass discontent citizens from insecurity which dominates today's society. The failure to
provide the physical protection of citizens and private and public property, combined with the rising
unemployment, may lead to a general feeling of dissatisfaction and a local tension, followed by a major
crisis;
c) Dissatisfaction of pensioners, which do not receive welfare, increases the tensions that may
degenerate into extensive action of protest;
d) Test of trade union leaders to manipulate public opinion by "poisoning" with information that
incite to violence;
e) An intense campaign of denigration of union leaders, who cannot be manipulated, with the
purpose to remove and replace them from the management functions;
f) The transition in unemployment of a large numbers of workers from the main industrial centers
without retraining programs and providing opportunities to absorb of a labor force part;
g) Protest actions with religious reason, caused by non-recognition of some religions or sects;
h) Claiming of accommodation between state and private institutions;

i) Tensions between the majority population and Gypsies, as a result of destruction of crops, theft
of agricultural products, theft from vehicles and homes, organized commando actions and challenge the
population;
j) Tensions between social groups, ethnic groups, religious and so on.
Management, an economic concept taken by military and then by politicians to be transplanted in
social, it is used with the different meanings.
In the situation of social crisis, so the subject that is generator of crisis, explained by the
formulation of old policy, as well as the subject involved in crisis management (individuals, groups,
institutions), use according to the interests and needs, all of its primary meanings: handled, handling,
guidance, leadership, management, negotiation, settlement [9].
The concept of management should be used to name the designed activities and accomplished
systematically to prevent and, if occurring, to solve the critical situations. Both prevention as well as
their solution requires the ability to conceive the social solution, the only viable for the assaulted nation.
The interventions with other purposes (to calm the situation, to deter, to punish those who revolt), cannot
be considered management activities of the social crisis. This is a false management and can be justified
only to win time.
The managing of a crisis is dependent on the social processing capacity of the information. The
political power over which violence occurs or that use the violence is involved; third parties - which may
be internal or external power centers, generating or producing aggression against political power and
people - through the social elites. The information processors can be identified as politics, politicians,
military leaders, military elites, social elites. All are available the three resources of power - knowledge,
wealth and violence, but not all can use at the same intensity [10].
Managing the social crisis is, first of all, knowledge, from which follows provisions and
operations, in which each actor or subject involved imposes the limits of action areas. Both sides do not
devise the actions (operations) and their consequences on the use of exceeding the limits of war.
Relevant is the aggressiveness of individuals, especially managers and socio-political violence groups
[11].
The management (crisis management) [12] requires using in the social solution of human and
material resources in the purpose of solving the conflict. Management excludes threat or use of force,
which result in decision errors, risks and human and materials losses. On this plan is shown the
importance of leaders (or managers), whose mission is the design and implementation of social solutions
by management strategies.
The management of the social crisis should avoid the use of military violence and to turn the
crisis into a conflict of power. This action involves specialized action of organizations with management
functions and to assume responsibility for the measures taken and the consequences produced.
In the management of social crisis should be involved, by management techniques well defined,
individualized and structured from social peacetime, legislative and executive organizations built by the
people, as an expression of its power (democracy).
The legislative organizations (parliament) and executive (government) involve the control of the
activities from the so-called area of the public policy defense, directly or through specialized committees,
adopts the necessary legislation to crisis, examines how to comply with this legislation, gives credit of
executive power to take desirable measures, control institutions with responsibilities during crisis.
3. Summary
Crises are events characterized by low probability and important consequences that threaten an
organization in its deepest purposes. Because of their low probability, these events defy any
interpretation and require an effort of understanding and adaptive responses. Thus, to resolve a crisis in
progress requires simultaneously action, that generates the knowledge, but also affects the conduct of
crisis [13].
Theoretically, the environment, in the context of a crisis, can be characterized by: mistrust;
polarization of social and political differences; the use of weapons; conducting an action challenging or
an sporadic action, unorganized, with a low level of violence; perception of their interests as
incompatible; intergroup hostility; repression, insurgency, systematic violation of human rights; the
decline in perception of legitimacy of national government; national mobilization and so on.
Time for action in this case is short. And the answer consists in a set of conditioned responses,
regarding as primary objectives: reducing and controlling specific means of coercion that can be used in

violent conflicts; blocking violence; reducing tensions, freezing the hostilities; solving the political
disputes; creation of non-violent means to resolve the crisis.
These objectives can be achieved through the instruments such as diplomatic, military, economic,
social and political adapted to each case.
