          Abstract

          The COVID‐19 crisis is a stark reminder that modern society is vulnerable to a special species of trouble: the creeping crisis. The creeping crisis poses a deep challenge to both academics and practitioners. In the crisis literature, it remains ill‐defined and understudied. It is even harder to manage. As a threat, it carries a potential for societal disruption—but that potential is not fully understood. An accumulation of these creeping crises can erode public trust in institutions. This paper proposes a definition of a creeping crisis, formulates research questions, and identifies the most relevant theoretical approaches. It provides the building blocks for the systematic study of creeping crises.

          摘要

          2019新型冠状病毒( COVID‐19)是一个严峻提示: 现代社会在慢性危机这一特殊困难面前是脆弱的。慢性危机为学术界和从业人员都造成了一个巨大挑战。在相关文献中, 慢性危机的定义并不清晰且缺乏研究。管理慢性危机更为困难。作为一种威胁, 它具备扰乱社会的潜能, 但这种潜能目前没有被完全理解。这类慢性危机的累积能削弱公众对政府机构的信任。本文提出了对慢性危机的定义, 制定了研究问题, 并识别了最为相关的理论措施。本文为有关慢性危机的系统性研究提供了基础。

          Resumen

          La crisis de COVID‐19 es un claro recordatorio de que la sociedad moderna es vulnerable a una especie especial de problemas: la crisis progresiva. La progresiva crisis plantea un profundo desafío tanto para los académicos como para los profesionales. En la literatura, permanece mal definida y poco estudiada. Es aún más difícil de manejar. Como amenaza, conlleva un potencial de disrupción social, pero ese potencial no se comprende completamente. La acumulación de estas crisis progresivas puede erosionar la confianza pública en las instituciones. Este artículo propone una definición de crisis progresiva, formula preguntas de investigación e identifica los enfoques teóricos más relevantes. Proporciona los componentes básicos para el estudio sistemático de las crisis progresivas.
