Analysis of the Croatian crisis communication academic discourse

An analysis of the literature published in the Croatian scientific and professional journals in the last ten years demonstrates that topics of crisis communications were not well represented in the Croatian academic publications. In that period (2005-2016) there were plenty of big political, economic, financial, environmental, health and safety crisis. If we have on our mind that crisis communications are an important instrument of the sustainable crises management, it is surprising that there were so little articles about that topic. In the second half of 2015, Croatia faced a large refugee wave from the Middle East that were continued as well throughout 2016, but academic treatment of this topic from a position of crisis communication was entirely absent. This paper analyses the content of the existing Croatian scientific discourse of crisis communications in the past decade, issues that dominated professional and scientific articles dealing with crisis communications and reasons for the unpopularity of crisis communications in the Croatian scientific and professional literature.
