Resiliência Estratégica para um Desenvolvimento Regional Sustentável

Abstract

Strategic resilience refers to the continuous adaptation to global  drivers  of  change,  enabling a region or another system to support crises and disturbances without collapsing. Resilient regions are less vulnerable and are more prepared to deal with change, complexity, crises and multiples disturbances (economic, environmental, political, technological, social), being more sustainable in the long term. In the current context of turbulence and uncertainty this may be a critical capacity for regions to face the future. The present article aims to discuss resilience and its theoretical framework, reflecting about the application to regional development.
