Wicked problems in public policy : Understanding and responding to complex challenges
This book offers the first overview of the ‘wicked problems’ literature, often seen as complex, open-ended, and intractable, with both the nature of the ‘problem’ and the preferred ‘solution’ being strongly contested.

The Lebanese financial crisis and it’s impact on Syrian Bank
Lebanon is now facing a deep financial crisis, and commercial banks face the worse liquidity stress in the country’s history. Researches done till now do not correlate other factors to each other and to the crisis. Those factors are mainly: banking activities and decisions, compliance, political issues, economic factors, as well as crisis and “black swans”. As Macroeconomic and financial factors may combine supporting economic development and so the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations for a better and safer future for society, the significance of this study is that, by defining and analysing the fragility factors will assist to develop an effective and efficient early banking crisis warning system and developing a financial innovation framework which contributes to societies’ well-being.
The Illusion of Risk Control : What Does it Take to Live With Uncertainty?
Managers and regulators need conceptual tools to help them develop risk management strategies, establish appropriate compromises and justify their decisions in such ambiguous settings. This series weaves together insights from multiple scientific disciplines that shed light on these problems, including organization studies, psychology, sociology, economics, law and engineering. It explores novel topics related to safety management, anticipating operational challenges in high-hazard industries and the societal concerns associated with these activities.
Collapsing Structures and Public Mismanagement
This book demonstrates how accidents happen, how social processes are fundamental to their occurrence, and how learning and inference about their causes is a core public management function. Along the way, Seibel masterfully musters evidence from a multitude of sources to painstakingly document both bridge and building failures and the organizational pathologies that accompany them. This is a must-read for those who want to better understand such 'black swan' events and the search for resilience.
