Abstract: Resilience has been suggested as a unifying concept in terrorism research. This article investigates the conceptual adequacy of resilience applied to terrorism.

“…There is a quest for more feasible approaches that can effectively tackle the complex challenges of insecurity.

“…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).…”
