Crises are often a pretext for concentration of power, but the word crisis means a life or death situation. Other actors may feel legitimated by crisis and intervene, bringing a more pluralist arrangement. Or, power, concentrated or not, may be inadequate, and the ensuing collapse could just as well bring a power vacuum. The vacuum may or not end in concentration of power. There are all sorts of scenarios.
