How can business leaders navigate through a world of
polycrisis? This work blends historical lessons, firsthand accounts, and
ethical perspectives on crisis to fill a key gap in our understanding of
effective, ethical leadership through settings of crisis, conflict and/or
fragility. Pulling from historical events and contemporary research, this
Element looks past individual crises and explores a world of
overlapping, permanent crises, or “polycrisis.” It contrasts traditional
leadership responses with values of community and authenticity,
emphasizing the necessity of ethical and servant leadership when
conventional business strategies fail. This work offers insights for
anyone interested in understanding and navigating the complex
landscape of crisis and strategizes enduring leadership for constant
crises.

India's image as a powerful player in global politics and a contender to superpower status is boosted by its explosive economic growth and demographic trends. While competition with China for Asian supremacy and threats from Pakistan are seen by many as the major obstacles to the realization of India's growth potential, the human security challenges in this volume have received far less attention. Analysts who ignore or underestimate these challenges not only run the risk of overlooking key impediments to India's development, but may also fail to recognize the gravity of current threats to the welfare and very survival of millions of Indian citizens.

India's explosive economic growth and emerging power status make it a key country of interest for policymakers, researchers and scholars within South Asia and around the world. But while many of India's threats and conflicts are strategized and discussed extensively within the confines of security studies, strategic studies and conventional international relations perspectives, many less visible challenges are set to impact significantly on India's potential for economic growth as well as the human security and livelihoods of hundreds of millions of Indian citizens.
Drawing on extensive research within India, this book looks at some of the ‘hidden risks’ that India faces, exploring how a broadened scope of what constitutes ‘risk’ itself holds value for Indian security studies practitioners and policymakers. It highlights several human security risks facing India, including the inability of the world’s largest democracy to deal effectively with widespread poverty and health issues, resource depletion and environmental mismanagement, pervasive corruption and institutionalized crime, communal violence, a protracted Maoist insurgency, and deadlocked peace processes in the Northeast among others. The book extracts common themes from these seemingly disparate problems, discussing what underlying failures allow them to persist and why policymakers heavily securitize some political issues while ignoring others.
Providing an understanding of how several lesser-studied risks can pose potential or actual threats to Indian society and its ‘emerging power’ growth narrative, this book is a useful contribution to South Asian Studies, International Security Studies and Global Politics.
