Social scientists play a vital role in developing knowledge that is directly relevant to global challenges and crises, and their inclusion is essential in initiatives aimed at addressing these pressing issues. This book takes a significant step towards presenting and engaging social scientists in these efforts.

Global crises are intricately linked to our relationships, groups, organizations, communities, institutions, and the complex dynamics that arise between them. These dimensions are often overlooked or underestimated by scientists and other stakeholders. By bringing together contributions from a diverse range of respected social scientists from around the world, this short-form book aims to provide deep insights into the social phenomena associated with global crises.

Through illuminating interventions from individuals who have faced challenges and crises firsthand, the book also highlights the ongoing personal development required to address global crises in productive and meaningful ways. This book will appeal to social scientists, researchers, academics, organizational consultants, and students in the fields of management, particularly those who specialize in global challenges and crises. It will also be a valuable resource for practitioners and policy makers seeking to better understand and respond to these complex issues.
