在过去十年中，出现了越来越多的文献，这些文献关注的问题是，一个有前途的社会复原力概念可能采取什么形式。在这篇文章中，我们认为，社会弹性有可能被制作成一个连贯的分析框架，可以建立在科学知识的基础上，从社会脆弱性的既定概念，并提供了一个新的视角对当今的全球变化的挑战。基于对最近发表的关于这个问题的文献的评论，我们建议将社会韧性定义为由三个维度组成：1。应对能力-社会行为者科普和克服各种逆境的能力; 2.适应能力-他们从过去的经验中学习，并在日常生活中适应未来挑战的能力; 3.变革能力-他们有能力建立一套机构，促进个人福利和可持续的社会稳健性，以应对未来的危机。从这个角度看，寻求建立社会复原力的途径----特别是在穷人和边缘化群体的生计方面----不仅是一个技术问题，而且是一个政治问题。
Over the last decade, a growing body of literature has emerged which is concerned with the question of what form a promising concept of social resilience might take. In this article we argue that social resilience has the potential to be crafted into a coherent analytic framework that can build on scientific knowledge from the established concept of social vulnerability, and offer a fresh perspective on today's challenges of global change. Based on a critical review of recently published literature on the issue, we propose to define social resilience as being comprised of three dimensions: 1. Coping capacities - the ability of social actors to cope with and overcome all kinds of adversities; 2. Adaptive capacities - their ability to learn from past experiences and adjust themselves to future challenges in their everyday lives; 3. Transformative capacities - their ability to craft sets of institutions that foster individual welfare and sustainable societal robustness towards future crises. Viewed in this way, the search for ways to build social resilience - especially in the livelihoods of the poor and marginalized - is revealed to be not only a technical, but also a political issue.
