Abstract: The purpose of this essay is to clarify the theoretical understanding of the concept of resilience in order to explore problems surrounding the empirical measurement and application of the concept, as well as to examine strategicexamples of empirical measures and policy applications in the literature of several disciplines, fields, andprofessions. The examination of resilience occurs in two streams: one conceptual and one methodological. At theconceptual level, the focus will be on definitions, distinctions between resilience and related concepts, and the theoretical frameworks that underlie usage of the concept. At the empirical level, the examination of resilience will be centered on the methodological challenges associated with research on resilience as well as previous attempts to operationalize and measure resilience.
