Economic resilience is an emergent field in the social sciences. In
this timely book, key scholars examine how individuals,
organisations, regions and nations are affected by internal and
external crises, and consider how the ways in which they respond
will determine their future growth path. Providing a coherent and
clear narrative, Creating Resilient Economies offers a theoretical
analysis of resilience and provides guidance to policymakers with
regards to fostering more resilient economies and people. It
adeptly illustrates how resilience thinking can offer the
opportunity to re-frame economic development policy and practice
and provides a clear evidence base of the cultural, economic,
political and social conditions that shape the adaptability,
flexibility and responsiveness to crises in their many forms.
Academics and scholars across the social sciences will find this
book an enlightening gateway into the subject of economic
resilience. Its eminently practical approach will also benefit
government policy makers interested in how localities, regions and
nations can respond more effectively to crises. Contributors
