Resilience Model (c) University of Essex 2012
This paper, “Economic Analysis of Resilience: A Framework for Local Policy Response Based on New Case Studies“, written by Pierre Régibeau (Imperial College, London and CRA International) and Katharine Rockett (University of Essex) takes a recent set of case studies on resilience of ecocultures to form the basis for a critical review of the resilience literature and the development of a proposal for a novel resilience index.
The paper notes the diversity of definitions of resilience and the confusion this creates in implementing resilience studies and develop a synthesis view that establishes a framework for defining resilience in an implementable way. This framework emphasises the importance of defining the source of and magnitude of shocks as part of the definition.
