kriisijärgselt

Kriisijärgselt is an Estonian adverb meaning “in the post-crisis period” or “in a post-crisis manner.” It is used to describe actions, analyses, or policies that occur after a crisis has subsided.

The term is formed from the noun kriis (crisis) and a post-crisis element that conveys following or after, and it is commonly found in Estonian policy documents, economic analyses, journalism, and academic writing. It typically signals temporal context—what happens after a crisis—as well as a focus on recovery, reconstruction, reforms, or learned lessons.

In usage, kriisijärgsel is most often encountered in phrases such as kriisijärgsel perioodil (in the post-crisis period) or kriisijärgsel ajal (in the post-crisis era). It is used to frame statements about strategies, measures, and assessments that take place after the immediate crisis has passed, and it often accompanies discussions of resilience, stabilization, and long-term reforms.

Examples:

Kriisijärgsel perioodil keskendutakse taastumisele ja kriisist õppimise integreerimisele. (In the post-crisis period, the focus is on recovery and integrating lessons learned from the crisis.)

Kriisijärgsel ajal koordineeritakse ressursse ja tugevdatakse kriisitaluvust. (During the post-crisis period, resources are coordinated and resilience is strengthened.)

Translations into English yield the closest equivalents: post-crisis, or in the post-crisis period. The term is primarily used in Estonian-language texts and is most common in discussions of recovery and policy planning after disruptive events.
