Description:

Most international crises (both in inter-state and intra-state rooted) have multi-dimensional causes and symptoms. Their management is operationalized through various stages, principles, tools, actors for crisis transformation (incl. military and non-military/civilian/political-diplomatic). Apart from military officers, foreign policy and security experts, humanitarian and relief workers, as well members of business community are recognised as essential actors in the field of crisis management and crisis diplomacy. History of armed conflicts illustrates that crisis management is sustainable only if the military action is supported by civilian crisis transformation and post-conflict consolidation (which can be referred as integrated crisis management and crisis diplomacy). There is also understanding of the necessity to coordinate all tools and actors into consolidated crisis management/crisis diplomacy strategy, which also involves application cross-linked and integrated policy approach.           

Therefore, crisis management has turned out to be a lead task within the context of foreign, security and defence, humanitarian relief related policies of individual states, coalitions of states and major international/ intergovernmental organisations (IGOs) [namely, UN, NATO, EU, OSCE].

Crisis management has been defined as provision of military and civilian (incl. police, diplomatic, humanitarian) personnel within the bi-lateral and multilateral settings of IGOs to restore and consolidate peace and stability in crisis regions by use of various tools incl, crisis prevention, conflict resolution and peace building for lasting armed conflicts.
