Introduction: The theory, practice, and action of supply chain resilience policy

Sam Mulopulos ()

A chapter in Achieving Supply Chain Resilience, 2025, pp 1-10 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter serves as an introduction to the book. It explains how recent shocks, like the COVID-19 pandemic and a shortage of semiconductors, galvanized policymakers to take an interest in supply chain resilience. Despite newfound interest, there are shortcomings in current supply chain resilience policy. One is the lack of a strategic approach that orients supply chain resilience policymaking as part of a coherent plan to mitigate critical vulnerabilities in supply chains. Another is a lack of comprehensiveness. By deploying policy interventions in silos, rather than in concert, policymakers risk adopting policies that are not the most effective at strengthening supply chains. This Introduction describes the three parts of this book—theory, practice, and action—highlighting the ways in which these elements are combined to give policymakers a practical approach to building supply chain resilience.
