The crisis of crisis managementCrisis management remains in high demand in 2009/10.Yet it suffers from three crises.First, there is insufficient political will to formulate a strategic vision of how to address violent conflicts in an increasingly multipolar world.Second, there is a lack of institutional coordination among the principal providers of crisis management.Third, due to capability shortages, many operations struggle to deliver in today's complex conflict environments.These flaws must be fixed as crisis management remains an indispensible tool to secure peace and stability.
