Introduction
a) A very brief overview of the case you are analysing (what happened where and when?).
b) Explain the theoretical constructs you will be applying
c)Why these are the most appropriate theories to apply?
- Preconditions
Crises rarely occur ‘out of the blue’. Instead, there are usually several warning signs. Discuss the early warning signs and why people did not respond adequately in the case you have chosen. - Trigger - only pick one
Discuss the point in time of the inception of the crisis and explain why. - Crisis
Discuss how, when and why the crisis escalated to produce the greatest damage. - Post- crisis
Discuss what happened after the acute phase was over. What were the lessons learnt that to prevent future crises? Were they learnt or ignored?
Summary
Consider all phases of your analysis. In summary, what should have been learnt
from your paper’s analysis? How did the theoretical frameworks you applied help us better understand this?
