A crisis (plural: crises) is a Turning Point or decisive moment in events. Typically, it is the moment from which an illness may go on to death or recovery. More loosely, it is a term meaning 'a testing time' or 'emergency event'. It is a concept in economics (discussed Elsewhere ) and in international relations, discussed below. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS For information about crises as a field of study in International Relations , see Crisis Management and International Crisis . In this context, a crisis can be loosely defined as a situation where there is a perception of threat, heightened anxiety, expectation of possible violence and the belief that any actions will have far-reaching consequences (Lebow, 7-10).
