Resilience in ecosystemic context: Evolution of the concept.

Abstract

The evolution of the resilience literature across diverse social science disciplines over the past two decades is reviewed and a synthesis of recent findings is offered, suggesting that resilience is a multidetermined and ever-changing product of interacting forces within a given ecosystemic context. Emerging constructions of the concept are examined, and a refined Working definition is proposed. Implications for research and practice are offered.
