Resilience Manifestation and Expression

Author(s): Michel Herzog, Tim Prior
Series: Risk and Resilience Reports
Publisher(s): Center for Security Studies (CSS), ETH Zurich
Publication Year: 2013

This factsheet aims to overcome some of the theoretical and disciplinary complexity associated with the concept of resilience by reflecting on the way it manifests and is expressed in response to a disturbance. By focusing on resilience as response, and reflecting on the various ways in which resilience may manifest or be expressed, the factsheet seeks to highlight an element of practicality in this term that may otherwise be overlooked. This factsheet builds on the SKI Factsheet 8, which discussed the expression of resilience in the context of the bounce back and adaptation forms of the concept.
