TL;DR: The authors provides a theoretical and political critique of how the concept of resilience has been applied to places, based on three main points: resilience is externally defined by state agencies and expert knowledge, a concern with the resilience of places is misplaced in terms of spatial scale, since the processes which shape resilience operate primary at the scale of capitalist social relations, and resourcefulness as an alternative approach for community groups to foster.
Abstract: This paper provides a theoretical and political critique of how the concept of resilience has been applied to places. It is based upon three main points. First, the ecological concept of resilience is conservative when applied to social relations. Second, resilience is externally-defined by state agencies and expert knowledge.
