  • The purpose of this article is to analyze risks that are related to critical infrastructures. The central idea is that the world is entering into an era of instability and turbulence, where the risks have a systemic character. This complexity cannot be understood in the abstract when studying its harmful effects and, in particular, the risks induced by it. The purpose of this paper is to investigate risks according to the Transcurssive Logic (TL) method. This complementary method establishes that, in order to relate a theory with the empirical aspects that support it, formal methods of analysis are not necessary, since it does not work with contents, but with "ontological niches". Its usefulness lies in being able to guide on what aspect of reality we can investigate, since it allows us to identify the basic elements that determine what is observable, and what their relationships are. Some emerging discussions are presented. It is proposed that the new branch of Infranomics is relevant for the comprehensive study of risks in critical infrastructures. It can be developed as a disciplinary matrix complementary to the analysis of Transcurssive Logic.
