Crisis mapping and crisis management: expediters of peace settlement

Crisis mapping is usually conducted to gather and analyze data during a crisis which is usually a natural disaster or social/political conflict such as violence, civil war or sudden aggression. The peacekeeping landscape changed due to the emerging multipolar world order. In accordance with the principles of crisis management vision, the government should play a role before, during and after a crisis or disaster. Policymakers should prepare for the post-crisis phase through the active involvement and visible commitment of political-administrative elites and through the involvement of external bodies of expertise that can manage the learning process. Technologies should be examined to understand the future developments in peace operations. Political and administrative leaders perceive crises as dilemmas that defy administrative or policy responses and cause collective harm. Governments and organizations must be prepared to meet to handle crisis and not to ignore crisis management requisites. Good communications should be maintained in any crisis to ensure effective policies and practices. The subject of crisis management turned to be at the top of vital topics in the world since 1962 (the Cuban crisis). As such, there is a growing need to have crisis management centers and research topics. The researcher recommends studying previous crises to learn how to manage such situations effectively and to avoid war. The plan or strategy in itself is only a set of principles and good intentions, but without efficient humanitarian hard work, it might not be worth noting.
