Regional resilience: theoretical and empirical perspectives

摘要

This edition of Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society is devoted to examining regional resilience and assessing its underlying theoretical foundations, the empirical evidence that may lie behind it and importantly what it may have to offer the formulation of policy. The articles in this issue explore the concept from a variety of angles and demonstrate why it has emerged as a popular, albeit contested, concept in environmental studies and the social sciences.
