“…Other studies have solely focussed on empirically analysing public sector responses at the local authority level (e.g. PORTER et al, 2015;ASENOVA et al, 2015), but given that other research has argued that successful adaptation responses rely on both horizontal and vertical multi-scalar governance responses from a variety of actors (ADGER et al, 2005;BOYD and JUHOLA, 2015), this research has examined the perspectives of non-state actors too. This article specifically focuses on understanding how governance actors define and interpret resilience and adaptation in policy discourse and on exploring why particular discourses are becoming prominent.…”

“…This has led to the national adaptation programme in the UK being criticized for lacking co-ordination, stakeholder involvement and having unclear divisions of responsibilities (BIESBROEK et al, 2010). Furthermore, given its non-statutory status, it has been reported that funding for adaptation remains piecemeal (PORTER et al, 2015;ASENOVA et al, 2015) and will continue to be so in the future (WARD, 2015). .…”

Citation for final published version:Kythreotis, Andrew P. and Bristow, Gillian I. 2017. The 'resilience trap': exploring the practical utility of resilience for climate change adaptation in UK city-regions. Regional Studies 51 (10) , pp. AbstractThis article examines how adaptation is interpreted across different UK city-regions by governance and policy actors, finding that the discourse of adaptation is giving way to resilience. This is explained by the value of resilience as a discursive construct in mobilising and co-ordinating policy actions. Resilience has greater appeal as a framing device over adaptation to such actors given its potential to enable buy-in from a wider city-regional governance network. However, this article also highlights the 'resilience trap': the dangers of adopting short-term strategies, rebadging existing strategies and widening governance networks that obfuscate subnational mobilisation around adaptation. It then reflects on how governance actors may act to avoid the resilience trap.

“…In this regard, the literature has focused on both secondary and primary datasets. In essence, the literature has focused on people, systems and processes (see amongst others Domokos, Nyéki, Jakovác, Németh, & Hatvani, 2015;Braig, Gebre, & Sellgren, 2011;Palermo, 2014;Asenova, Bailey, & McCann, 2014;Leung, 2008;Lawlor, 2002;Smith & McCloskey, 1998;Baldry, 1998;Vincent, 1996).…”

A Review of Risk Management Planning and Reporting in South Africa’s Public Institutions

This exploratory work attempts to review the risk management planning and reporting practices applied in South Africa's public institutions by defining variables that were deemed indicators of risk management planning and reporting practices, namely: the timing of the institutions' strategic and combined assurance planning, documentation and active management of risks appearing in strategic risk registers and operational risk registers and the availability of risk management software (including its nature and usefulness). The results point to the fact that there is confusion regarding the timing of both strategic and combined assurance planning sessions. Some institutions conduct these in the preceding year, whereas others appear to be conducting these during the year of implementation. Results further suggest that the practice of implementing combined assurance has not yet been embedded in the majority of public institutions, pointing to uncoordinated assurance activities that could lead to 'assurance fatigue'. Results further point to the fact that there are still public institutions that are unable to prepare the strategic and operational risk registers. This raises the question of how these risks are managed if they have not been measured and documented.
