Book takes on complex risk modelling and management   

CRJ’s very own David Rubens has developed a unique handbook for modelling and managing complex risks. It’s an interesting read for people in the industry. 


From natural hazards to cyberattacks to global pandemics, the modern risk environment is highly complex and challenges our fundamental understanding of risk and crisis management.

Blending practical insights with rigorous research, Strategic Risk and Crisis Management provides a range of realistic solutions for any operational environment. The book introduces concepts, frameworks, and processes that will allow businesses to not only survive but respond and recover at a time of maximum chaos and confusion. 

"An incredibly timely and indispensable guide, equipping managers, policymakers, and all of us with the knowledge and insights for managing complex risks that we need if we are to find a safe course through the treacherous waters that lie before us," according to Stephen Flynn, Founding Director, Global Resilience Institute, Northeastern University.

This handbook is an essential read for professionals working in security, risk, crisis management, and emergency response, as well as a valuable text for university students taking modules on security, risk, emergency response, and crisis management.

"This is the right book at the right time. This is an imaginative, farsighted, and relevant book, and I take great pleasure in recommending it for anyone interested in any aspect of strategic risk and crisis management," says Professor Ljiljana Markovic PhD, Academic Director, ECPD.

"David Rubens' book offers both a deeply researched and highly detailed academic analysis combined with a practical approach that will have real value for practitioners, whatever area of risk management they are involved in," says Nadine Sulkowski, Project Lead, Erasmus+ Build Programme.

David Rubens is currently a professor at the United Nations University for Peace European Centre for Peace and Development (Belgrade), where he is Program Director for the International Postgraduate Study Programme in Strategic Risk and Crisis Management. He founded the Institute of Strategic Risk Management in 2018, which has established itself as a leading platform for academics, practitioners, and policymakers across the range of security, risk and crisis management-related sectors.
