This book explores the concept and practice of resilience that has
generated much debate among both scholars and practitioners. The
contributions propose a new understanding of resilience, both as a
quality and a way of thinking, taking it to the level of ‘the
person’ and ‘the local’, to argue that a more sustainable way
to govern the world today is bottom-up and inside-out. While
carrying a seemingly unifying message of self-reliance, adaptation
and survival in the face of adversity, resilience curiously
continues to appear as ‘all things to all people’, making it
hard for the EU and international institutions to make full use of
its arresting potential. Engendering resilience today, in the
highly volatile and uncertain world hit by crises, pandemic and
diminishing control, becomes a priority as never before. This book
develops a more comprehensive view of resilience by looking at it
both as a quality of the system and a way of thinking inherent to
‘the local’ that cannot be engineered from the outside. It is
argued in this volume that in some cases the level of ‘the
person’, especially the person’s sense of what constitutes a
‘good life’, may be the most appropriate focus for
understanding change and strategic adaptation in response to it.
This understanding widens the scope of discussion from what makes
an entity, system or person more adaptable, to how one can best
govern today to establish a stable equilibrium between the global
and the local, the external and the internal, and become more
responsive to the challenges and changes of today’s highly
uncertain world. The chapters in this book were originally
published in the journal Contemporary Security Policy.
