Brexit, COVID-19, and the rural British pub: assessing the adaptive resilience of the 'local' amidst contemporary crises.

在经历了20年的衰落之后，随着英国脱欧和新冠肺炎疫情的爆发，英国酒吧正经历着新一轮的不确定性和风险。然而，这些危机的可能影响尚不清楚，因为它们的非事件和暂时表现是史无前例的。这些问题对于农村地区的酒吧来说是尖锐的，因为它们在当地社会经济中具有重要的社会、经济和文化功能。作为回应，这项研究与Plunkett基金会合作，旨在评估英国农村酒吧对当代危机的适应能力。虽然在2008年金融危机之后，“恢复力”的概念受到了极大的关注，但这一概念应对英国退欧和新冠病毒-19的独特和相互影响的能力需要给予严格的关注。由于酒吧在当地经济中发挥着核心和必要的公民和经济职能，将这些职能集中在围绕农村韧性的基于地方的政策讨论中不仅是可能的，而且是合乎逻辑的。英国退欧和COVID-19在地理上的不平衡、渐进和不确定的表现对理论和政策来说是一个前所未有的、正在展开的挑战。通过多层次的制度方法，这项研究将通过评估英国权力下放国家(重新)产生适应性的正式和非正式制度，加强适应性的概念化。因此，它寻求为英国乡村酒吧和新兴社区复原力政策的应用制定建议。重要的是，它将确定农村地区酒吧在整个当代经济危机中的关键脆弱性和机会，并将这些发现应用于弹性理论。

Following two decades of decline, British pubs are experiencing new rounds ofuncertainty and risk with the onset of Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, thepossible impacts of these crises are unclear since they are unprecedented in their unevengeographical and temporal manifestations. Such issues are acute for pubs in rural areasdue to their essential social, economic and cultural functions within their local socioeconomies.In response, this research, in collaboration with the Plunkett Foundation,aims to assess the adaptive resilience of rural British pubs in relation to contemporarycrises. While the notion of 'resilience' received much attention following the 2008 financialcrisis, the concept's ability to address the unique and interacting impacts of Brexit andCOVID-19 requires critical attention. With pubs performing central and essential civic andeconomic functions within their local economies, centralising these within place-basedpolicy discussions surrounding rural resilience is not only possible but logical. Thegeographically uneven, incremental and uncertain manifestations of Brexit and COVID-19are an unprecedented and unfolding challenge for theory and policy. Through a multilevelinstitutional approach, this research will strengthen conceptualisations of adaptiveresilience through assessing the formal and informal institutions through which it is(re)produced across the UK's devolved nations. Thus, it seeks to formulaterecommendations for rural pubs and applications for emerging community resiliencepolicy in the UK. Importantly, it will identify the key vulnerabilities of and opportunities forpubs in rural areas throughout contemporary economic crises and the application of thesefindings for theorisations of resilience.
