Abstract
Resilience has become a widely publicized and almost universally accepted end of social and institutional practice and, for social scientists struggling for recognition among competing forms of expertise about vulnerability, risk, and crisis management, concepts of resilience have continued to gain appeal (e.g., Boin & van Eeten 2013, p. 430). Researchers and theorists have set out to identify processes and structures that might strengthen the ability of groups, firms, states, businesses or armies to withstand adversity. The search for resilience has been as much a search for knowledge as it has been a search for virtue – and for results ideally marketable in the form of advice to an enlightened government of resilience (Chandler 2014).
