ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT This chapter describes a fundamental challenge often faced by donor agents when they attempt to provide support to a failing or failed host nation during its attempt to recover autonomous operations. That challenge is fundamentally dened by the complex relationship between the operations that are conducted in support of the host nation recovery process and the emergence of that nation’s innate capacity to resiliently absorb and/or exploit unanticipated challenges and novel opportunities. The role of complex adaptive systems modeling in understanding and anticipating the inuence of such operations on the emergence of this resiliency is discussed and illustrated with key components of a foundational modeling architecture.
