A companion to the UK failures index and the site’s concept pages — the academic literature on systemic, cascade and institutional failure in the UK.
Papers matching: ("United Kingdom" OR England OR Scotland OR Wales OR "Northern Ireland" OR Britain) AND ("systemic failure" OR "cascade failure" OR "systemic risk") (Scopus), manually pruned for topical relevance to organisational/institutional systemic failure, governance, and complex-systems risk.
90 papers (of 160 in the original export — 70 removed as off-topic, mostly clinical/biomedical uses of “systemic” unrelated to organisational failure).
