COVID provoked a multi-dimensional crisis that overwhelmed existing concepts of social resilience that focus on a singular crisis. This volume proposes an alternative.

In The Coronavirus Crisis and Its Teachings: Steps towards Multi-Resilience Roland Benedikter and Karim Fathi first describe the pluri-dimensional characteristics of the Coronavirus crisis. Then they draw the pillars for a more "multi-resilient" Post-Corona world including socio-political recommendations on how to generate it. The Coronavirus crisis has proven to be a bundle crisis consisting of multiple, interconnected crisis dimensions.

Before Corona, most concepts of a "resilient society" implied a rather isolated focus on only one crisis at a time. Future preparedness in the 21st century will require a multi- and transdisciplinary risk-management concept that the authors call "multi-resilience". "Multi-resilience" means to systematically enhance the universal resilience competencies of societies, such as collective intelligence or overall responsiveness, making them appliable to pluri-dimensional crisis contexts. If the Coronavirus crisis in retrospect will have contributed to implementing multi-resilience, then it will ultimately have contributed to progress.

This volume includes a Foreword by Jan Nederveen Pieterse and an Afterword by Manfred B. Steger.

Dr Roland Benedikter is Research Professor of Multidisciplinary Political Analysis in residence at the University of Wroclaw, Poland, Co-Head of the Center for Advanced Studies of Eurac Research, Autonomous Province of South Tyrol, Italy, and Member of the Future Circle of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) Berlin.

Dr Karim Fathi is a lecturer and policy advisor with focus on Resilience Studies and Interdisciplinary Communication. He is Member of the Future Circle of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and advises authorities, NGO's and companies in the field of Multi-Resilience.
