Samenvatting

This book
presents a collection of papers discussing especially social factors that
support individuals, organizations, markets, and societies confronted with
socio-economic crises. The papers were written mainly by international
sociologists dealing with social resilience from different viewpoints and
offering new theoretical perspectives as well as empirical facts.

Why are so
many researchers, politicians, and practitioners thinking and writing about
resilience today? Social scientists have started only recently to deal with
social resilience in various spheres. Since not long ago, resilience was
strongly connected with the question of what makes individuals or ecosystems to
overcome threats like disruption, catastrophes, external shocks etc. Thus, a
new research perspective on resilience is offered.
