ABSTRACT
In recent years resilience appears to have proliferated the discourse in many domains and contexts to become the buzzword of choice. The term resilience is to be found in dialogue regarding policy, cities, security, development, energy, resources, food, health, politics, terrorism, natural disasters, climate change, enterprise risk, governance and organisational change. Yet, it appears to be described in different terms and understood in a myriad of ways. Nonetheless, the plurality of domains and conversations seem to regard the concept as a positive and much-needed quality or capability.
