Pitirim Sorokin, a sociologist, founder, and first president of the ISCSC, highlighted the multifaceted impacts of disasters on personal, cultural, and social levels. In the 21st century, crises are more complex, requiring interdisciplinary approaches that blend political, natural, and social sciences. International and comparative studies are crucial for identifying effective models and practices. The concept of "crisis" must extend beyond obvious events to include broader social and physical conditions. Increasing vulnerability underscores the need for preventive and responsive actions at all levels. In this video, Emiliana Mangone, Ph.D., Professor at the University of Salerno, Department of Political and Communication Sciences, explores Sorokin's theories and their relevance today.
This presentation was delivered at the 53rd annual ISCSC conference at the University of Lethbridge, May 2024.
