Boundary Object Or Bridging Concept? A Citation Network Analysis Of Resilience, Jacopo A. Baggio, Katriana Brown, Denis Hellebrandt

Environment and Society Faculty Publications

Many recent studies observe the increasing importance, influence, and analysis of resilience as a concept to understand the capacity of a system or individual to respond to change. The term has achieved prominence in diverse scientific fields, as well as public discourse and policy arenas. As a result, resilience has been referred to as a boundary object or a bridging concept that is able to facilitate communication and understanding across disciplines, coordinate groups of actors or stakeholders, and build consensus around particular policy issues. We present a network analysis of bibliometric data to understand the extent to which resilience can …
