当代社会危机通常可简单地粗分为突发性灾害型危机与重大社会危机。灾害型危机又可粗分为自然灾害与事故型灾害;社会危机又可粗分为国内危机与国际危机。这两类危机一旦失控都有可能引发或演变为社会总危机。在危机管理研究中,还可根据危机结构和性质,将危机划分为结构不良性与非不良性危机。通过对大量危机案例进行变量分析,人们归纳出一些影响危机的关键性变量因素。一个国家中社会危机的发生有时是单一变量起作用,但通常是多种变量交互作用、综合发生影响的结果。 The crisis of contemporary society can usually be roughly divided into a sudden disaster-prone crisis and a major social crisis. Disastrous crisis can be roughly divided into natural disasters and accidental disasters; social crisis can be roughly divided into domestic crisis and international crisis. Once out of control, these two types of crises are likely to trigger or evolve into a total social crisis. In the study of crisis management, the crisis can also be divided into structural malnutrition and non-malnutrition according to the structure and nature of the crisis. Through variable analysis of a large number of crisis cases, some key variables affecting the crisis have been summed up. The social crisis in a country sometimes takes place as a single variable, but it is usually the result of a combination of multiple variable interactions.
