Crises signify conflicts, danger and chaos. Global crises, from 
political crises to climate change, from war and terror to humanitarian 
disasters, represent the dark side of a globalized world. This year’s 
conference theme focuses on how do global crises emerge from, and result 
in, social, political, cultural, institutional, economic, technological 
and environmental changes. The conference aims to analyze the ongoing 
multi-dimensional crisis of global world and provide interdisciplinary 
approaches to the current global crises. The major themes to be covered 
with respect to global crises may include wars and terrorism, global 
displacement and mass migration, legal crises and legitimacy, economic 
crises, disasters, catastrophes and risks, environmental challenges, 
poverty, politics (e.g. rise of populism,  rise of nationalism), 
security (e.g. national security, digital security), the role of media 
in crisis time, disinformation and power relations. The conference also 
aims to understand how global crises are spawned by and shape our global 
age, and how they are represented in the media.

By structuring the discussion around potential topics, the 9^th 
 International Conference on Conflict, Terrorism and Society (ICCTS) 
welcome paper submissions that examine a key issue from different 
theoretical or methodological approaches.Within this perspective, the
