Description
This book focuses on developments of resilience in Europe, discussing its different interpretations and enactments, as well as approaches to national security and crisis and disaster management.
Examining war-time resilience, increased refugee flows into the EU, societal resilience, and its general application of the concept in national security strategies, the book juxtaposes the multifaceted nature of resilience in different, yet connected, European countries. In doing so, it illuminates the multiplicity of approaches and interpretations that allows a deeper understanding of dynamically (re)developing approaches to resilience.
This book will be of key interest to scholars, students, and practitioners working in crisis response, disaster management, and resilience and more broadly to European studies, migration studies, security studies, politics, public policy, and international relations.
Chapter 4 and Chapter 6 of this book are freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDFs at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Reviews / Votes
"Resilience is now a ubiquitous concept in both academic and political circles. This collection offers a timely and rigorous examination of how the concept has been adopted and adapted, extended and transfigured via its application to a range of emerging crises within Central and Eastern Europe. Exploring the distinctive national approaches and contrasting security paradigms through which resilience is now being articulated provides a rich and important account of the evolution of resilience thinking as an evolving, context-dependent practice."Chris Zebrowski, Loughborough University, UK
"Emerging Varieties of Resilience does not take resilience as a given. Instead, it gives us "resilience multiple" - highlighting the many roles that states and societies play in adapting to crises. In a dialogue between case studies and conceptual discussions this book takes us to new geographies - Germany, Poland and the Ukraine - with insights that are both topical and urgent."
Mareile Kaufmann, University of Oslo, Norway
