Abstract

In the last decades, in a number of European countries, Crisis Management has become recognized academic discipline and education and research field. It is included in faculty curriculum and research plans in scientific institutes, scientific conferences and round tables are organized, books, monographs and journals are published. Unlike the situation in European countries, this discipline in ex-Yugoslav countries is still in the rudimentary phase. The paper deals with the current state of art in the field of crisis management as an academic discipline in international community and ex-Yugoslav countries. The authors conclude that with stabilization of situation in these countries conditions for dynamic development of crisis management as an academic discipline emerge, which might contribute to improvement of managerial practice.
