“…It has been applied in the context of climate change (Bahadur et al, 2010, Cannon and Müller-Mahn, 2010and Gaillard, 2010, disasters (Cutter et al, 2008 andSudmeier et al, 2013), vulnerability reduction (Bene et al, 2012), risk management (Mitchell and Harris, 2012), terror threats (Coaffee, 2006 andCoaffee andRogers, 2008), economic/financial crises (Azevedo and Terra 2009), and with regard to policy more generally (Levine et al, 2012, Levine and Mosel 2014. Resilience has taken on a normative gloss in policy debates as both a necessary means of managing change and as a desirable end point.…”

Abstract 'Resilience' is the catchword of the moment. For many of the mainstream institutions of international development, building resilience is embedded in a wider commitment to market liberalism. Taking three entry points, the sectoral, spatial and socio-governmental, this paper critically explores the connections, interdependencies and tensions between social resilience and the market imperative. The paper argues that 'liberal resilience' plays into a growth-developmentresilience 'trap' wherein economic growth has become a de facto synonym for development and, often, development a synonym for resilience. Drawing on empirical cases from across rural Asia we highlight the incongruities and inconsistencies in this line of logic. The paper suggests that there is a need to critically judge the market mechanism and the complex and sometimes contradictory ways in which the processes that have been set in train by market integration impinge on resilience.

“…In recent decades the emergence of what German sociologist Ulrich Beck called a 'risk society' has seen an increased emphasis placed upon anticipatory risk management measures as defining characteristics for organising contemporary society (Adams, 1995;Beck, 1992Beck, , 1999. Such priorities have become embedded in policy discourses and are increasingly important in the construction of urban areas (Branscomb, 2004;Coaffee and Rogers, 2008;Howe and White, 2004;Raco, 2003).…”

“…Embedding resilience in this aspect is often referred to interdependent energy, transport infrastructures and lowering the carbon pathway (Newman et al 2009;O'Brien and Hope 2010;Sircar et al 2013). Studies on terrorism increasingly use the notion of resilience to describe how cities and regions attempt to embed security and risk management into the system of governance and physical development (Coaffee 2008(Coaffee , 2009Coaffee and Rogers 2008). This is also related to resilience in the field of psychology.…”

Resilience has gained considerable attention over recent years in both theories and decision-making practices. In Taiwan, the term resilience is generally considered as a synonym for adaptation. This may limit the use of the notion. By understanding resilience in terms of adaptation and mitigation, we identify six attributes for assessment. The assessment is addressed in local level climate change adaptation policies in two selected cities. The city of Taipei represents places where local adaptation policies were directed mainly by the national government. The city of Tainan represents places where the municipal government plays a more critical role in framing these policies. This can result in different policymaking considerations. The assessment points out that the proposed actions of these policies are broader than a general understanding of adaptation. Mitigation strategies are addressed and sometimes highly recommended. Because of this, we can interpret these actions as resilience strategies covered under the use of the term adaptation. The notion of resilience does not stay on the rhetorical level alone. It is happening in shaping decisions -without using the terminology directly. The broadness of the resilience notion, in spite of being abstract, can provide a more general framework for cross-sectorial discussion and collaboration in policy-making. This is particularly important for dealing with complex issues, such as climate-related disturbances, which cannot be managed by a single group of professions.
