This document summarizes a presentation on analyzing social unrest from a systemic risk perspective. It provides a framework for describing and analyzing social unrest by outlining how unrest can cause, be caused by, manifest, and promote other risks. It defines social unrest and proposes a "ladder of social unrest" to classify the intensity. Key drivers that can escalate or deescalate unrest are identified. The framework is intended as a diagnostic and heuristic tool to facilitate comparative study and identify triggers. Future work aims to apply the framework to specific cases and substantiate claims with more empirical evidence.
