Abstract

Aim of this article is bringing the term crisis in the context of political theory. This will be made via references to the works of Carl Schmitt, Michael Walzer and Classical Realists such as Hans Morgenthau and Michael Williams.

Term crisis will be characterized as a part of inlocutionary speech act, which signifies „politicization“ - that means moving an issue from its „ordinary sphere“ to political sphere. On the basis of this contextualization, several models of the political sphere crisis will be constructed .
