 Population’s Resilience: A Social Perspective on Security StrategiesConstantin Stoican Impact of Socio-economic and Technological Transformations at National, European and International Level (ISETT), 2015, vol. 1 Abstract: In front of the risks and terrorist threats or crisis caused by natural disasters, authorities’ conventional means of intervention appear to be limited in managing vulnerabilities, especially in the communities affected directly or indirectly. Thus, population’s resilience, defined as that set of characteristics or factors, which expresses the response capacity of individuals to face and to recover after a traumatic event or a crisis situation, seems to be a concept designed to complement the traditional ways of action to maintain an optimal level of population’s security. In this article, will be reviewed some of the main elements of resilience and will be analysed those of its characteristics, which recommend it to be adopted in national security policies and strategies, especially due to possible preventive action and remedial intervention at social level, in significant risks.
