It might depend on the background you have, the discipline, field of research or action, country or time. While some might have felt resilience is already past its hiatus, resilience has remarkablyshownpersistence.Insomeacademicfields,resilienceisburgeoning,in others mushrooming, in other fields, disputed. Even when we started planning this book, or on some conference sessions in 2012 when we first gathered authors for thisbook,disasterresiliencewasnotanoveltopic.However,overyears,weheard demands to illustrate whether and how such a multifaceted concept of resilience could be put into practice or be operationalised when there existed so many dif- ferent definitions.Thisbooktries tocontributeselectedexampleshowresilienceis conceptualised and how researchers and practitioners try to work with it. The selection of topics, authors and chapters resulted from the editors’ interests in recent research and policy fields; notably, critical infrastructure and civil pro- tectionaswellasurbanresilienceinthecontextofDisasterRiskReduction(DRR), Climate Change Adaption (CCA), man-made hazards and threats. On a method- ologicalside,wewereinterestedinmeasurabilityofresilience,butembracingboth qualitative and quantitative approaches. We are very grateful that so many authors from our wish list agreed to contribute their interesting perspectives to this book. Authors come from various disciplines and countries (with a slight focus on Europe), but we also include perspectives from Iran, Nepal and the USA. This broad perspective is important to foster future discussions on this topic. To ensure the overall quality of this volume, all chapters were cross-reviewed by authors of other chapters and editor-reviewed.
