These crises evolve over time, reveal themselves in different ways, and resist comprehensive responses despite periodic public attention. As a result, these crises continue to creep in front of our eyes. This book begins by defining the concept of a creeping crisis, showing how existing literature fails to properly define and explore this phenomenon and outlining the challenges such crises pose to practitioners. Drawing on ongoing research, this book presents a diverse set of case studies on: antimicrobial resistance, climate change-induced migration, energy extraction, big data, Covid-19, migration, foreign fighters, and cyberattacks. Each chapter explores how creeping crises come into existence, why they can develop unimpeded, and the consequences they bring in terms of damage and legitimacy loss. The book provides a proof-of-concept to help launch the systematic study of creeping crises. Our analysis helps academics understand a new species of threat and practitioners recognize and prepare for creeping crises. 2021-05-18T15:50:38Z 2021-05-18T15:50:38Z 2021 book ONIX_20210518_9783030706920_5 9783030706920 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/48682 eng application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9783030706920.pdf https://www.springer.com/9783030706920 Springer Nature Palgrave Macmillan 10.1007/978-3-030-70692-0 10.1007/978-3-030-70692-0 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 36b08c27-87a1-4be3-aadf-7677a5828e8d 88bc59a1-e940-48a4-bc7d-0ce396373c98 9783030706920 Palgrave Macmillan 185 [grantnumber unknown] [grantnumber unknown] Myndigheten för Samhällsskydd och Beredskap Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency open access
