Annals - Economy Series, 2018, vol. SPECIAL, 169-174

Abstract: The resilience concept raises several conceptual problems, due to its multiple features. Once clarified the meaning of resilience concerning the science context, its paradigm reveals interdisciplinary nuances, which allow analysis of multiple phenomena in the human social area. Sustainable development comprises the benefits of research and practice in the economic, social and environmental fields and also those of individual investigation. Therefore, this paper intends to sketchasustainable development framework around resilience, by integrating a personal plan with others more comprehensive once. By replacing the separate study of the vulnerability and resilience characteristics with the resilient vulnerability, we consider that the sustainable development gains an added value to overcome the transversal nature of the studies dedicated to it in favor of the longitudinal ones, more suited to the holistic perspectivethat we follow in this paper. A new multidisciplinary bridge appears between responsible governance and adaptive cycle theories. This is why we go beyond the vision where environment is just a component of social systems, and the society just a component of ecological systems, sustainable development becoming an access platform to understand the consequences of interactions between individual and social, economic and environmental area, within a system capable ofintegratingalternative perspectives.
