    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Complex adaptive systems; Local and regional planning; Resilience thinking; Social-ecological systems; Transdisciplinarity; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the application of resilience thinking in different real-world settings and research-practice interfaces, for example in the context of natural resource management, local government planning and food systems. The number of cases of resilience practice are growing, including resilience assessments, planning and action, but there are still few scientific studies and even less synthesis across cases.

These changes require service systems to be resilient and designed to adapt, to ensure that services continue to work smoothly. READ MORE

  5. 3. Profit-Orientation and Post-Growth Economies : Building Theory for Social-Ecological Resilience

    Author : Jennifer Hinton; Sarah Cornell; Wijnand Boonstra; Somya Joshi; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Systems thinking; Systems analysis; Post-growth economy; Degrowth; Sustainable economy; Sustainable business; Theory of the firm; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

    Abstract : This thesis takes a post-growth perspective in order to answer the overarching research question:  How does business profit-orientation affect social-ecological sustainability? It is the result of putting different pieces of the puzzle together - across the microeconomic and macroeconomic scales - in order to build a stronger conceptual and theoretical basis for sustainable post-growth economies.In Part 1, I describe what a post-growth perspective entails, as an inherently social-ecological systems approach.

    Abstract : Through a compilation of four research articles, this PhD thesis investigates ‘hope’ as a biopolitical technology. It interrogates the use of hope by the United States security apparatus, on the one hand, to pre-empt processes of radicalisation and, on the other hand, to prepare the subject of security to cope with permanent insecurity.

  7. 5. Social-ecological dynamics in a highly regulated fisheries system - Sources of resilience and limits to command-and-control management

    Abstract : Sustainable governance of natural resources is challenged by the poor understanding of complex human-nature couplings. Major advancements in resilience theory, acknowledging the importance of social-ecological linkages and the self-organizing capacity of social-ecological systems, provides a new perspective on research in sustainability science.
