“…There is a quest for more feasible approaches that can effectively tackle the complex challenges of insecurity. Resilience is one such approach that has currently gained popularity as a coping strategy for any form of disaster (Shaw and Maythorne, 2013;Jore, 2023) and is usually applied in multiple disciplines, including ecology, psychology, sociology and many others (Ross et al, 2023). Resilience has become a central concept in social science and is attracting wide attention from researchers.…”

Building resilience is vital to devising the ability to overcome challenges, especially in times of insecurity. The objective of this study is to assess the level of perception of insecurity and social cohesion of residents in northeast Nigeria. The study also determines the influence of the perception of insecurity, social cohesion, length of stay, and age on resilience. The study sampled 383 respondents in Gwange, Bolori, Yerwa and Mai-Sandari of Maiduguri metropolis. The data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings revealed a moderate level of both perceptions of insecurity and social cohesion. The study also indicates that while the perception of insecurity predicts resilience (β = .297, p < .000) and social cohesion (β = .444, p < 0.00), age and length of stay (β = -.012, p < .770 and (β = -.041, p < .324) do not influence residents' resilience in Maiduguri. This study recommended that community engagement programs that aim to foster a sense of unity, and collaboration among residents, strengthen the existing social support networks within the neighbourhood. Similarly, community involvement in the decision-making process should be implemented and any form of initiative should be culturally sensitive and aligned with the needs of the people.

“…According to Mastern (2009, 119), resilience is a "positive DOI: 10.36712/sdi.v29i1.25213 adaptation in the context of signi cant challenges, variously referring to the capacity, for, process of, or outcome of successful life-course development during or following exposure to potentially life-altering experience." In the context of societal resilience, it explains the degree of society's response to normal condition of functional after the disturbing occurrence of events (Jore 2020). Hence, it can be argued that resistance is ability of a system, either state or society to pull through after a major disturbance.…”

This article argues that Salafi-Wahhabism’s political ideology has major effects on Malaysia’s socio-political orders. It also argues that the levels of resilience to the Salafi-Wahabi expansion are varied between state and society. At the level of society, resilience is weakened by multiple layers of grievances, which produced various effects brought by stages of reformist movements and terrors of neo-Salafi groups. The crucial indicator is its changing characteristics from being accommodative to a defensive one. The increasing tendency of Muslims embracing Salafi-Wahabism is the result of years of indoctrination, transnational Islamist networking, an external source of religious-funded activities, and the politicization of Islam. Yet this has been outweighed by the state’s resilience. Several attributes could explain the state’s ability to resist internal and external sources of radical ideologies, among others, long experience with terror threats, the state’s defined Islam, strong control on religious affairs, and the law enforcement that existed since the colonial periods.

“…Beyond development studies, this study also sits amidst analyses of the wider uses of resilience in international policy and international politics. Examples range from climate security (Ferguson, 2019) to democracy (Holloway & Manwaring, 2023), peacebuilding (Aggestam & Eitrem Holmgren, 2022), regional governance (Korosteleva, 2020), and terrorism (Jore, 2023). Broadly tied to critical security studies, early critiques especially highlight the role of resilience in reproducing forms of neoliberal governance (e.g., Corry, 2014; Joseph, 2013; Walker & Cooper, 2011).…”

Understanding resilience in sustainable development: Rallying call or siren song?

This article asks how the concept of resilience has been used in development studies. Set amidst the rise of resilience in sustainable development, it offers insights for scholars and policymakers, alike. Sampling 419 journal articles from 2017 to 2022, it uses Kuhnian paradigms to analyse development knowledge production on resilience. This produces three key findings. First is the absence of a coherent resilience paradigm (with shared definitions, problems and methods) in development studies. Second is its use, instead, by incumbent development paradigms in piecemeal fashion to extend and/or repackage pre‐existing arguments. Third are ensuing possibilities for resilience as both a rallying call and siren song in sustainable development. Ultimately, resilience‐based research and policy discourses open vital space for collective action across interdisciplinary and international divides. However, a lack of critical awareness of its non‐uniform use can produce more harm than help. If the language of resilience is to advance collective prospects for development cooperation and climate action, then it will help to know precisely what we each are talking about.
