Abstract
So far the systemic and the decision-making definitions of crisis have been explained. But what about a crisis itself: how does it fit into the scheme of things? The three sections in this chapter aim to show how a crisis slots into the theory and practice of international relations. The first two sections seem to be only dealt with in detail in two publications, one by O. R. Young and the other by Snyder and Diesing, which can be found in the bibliography.
