A guide to patterns of regional economic resilience

Karim K. Mardaneh, Ameeta Jain and Jerry Courvisanos

Chapter 8 in Handbook on Regional Economic Resilience, 2020, pp 126-142 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter develops an innovation–transition conception of resilience that implies having the adaptive capacity to thrive in changed, but uncertain, economic environments; or ‘resilience to disruptive events’. The chapter then utilises this thinking to explore how to quantitatively identify resilience patterns across types of regions and to thus provide a guide to practical pathways for transition. The chapter concludes on the important role that heterodox economics provides as a critique of equilibrium approaches to concepts like resilience and as the basis for a more realist approach to addressing sustainability under crises.
