A political crisis refers to a situation where the government loses legitimacy or fails to function effectively, often leading to instability and potential unrest. Management of such crises typically involves crisis communication, where leaders must address the public to restore trust and confidence. Political crises can arise from economic downturns, corruption scandals, or social upheaval, frequently requiring both immediate and long-term interventions. Strategies may include enacting reforms, engaging in dialogue with opposition parties, or calling for new elections. Successfully managing a political crisis is essential to maintaining democratic stability and fostering public resilience.
