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COVID-19大流行的爆发，英国酒吧正在经历新一轮的不确定性和风险。然而，这些危机可能产生的影响尚不清楚，因为它们在地理和时间上的表现形式是前所未有的。这些问题是在农村地区的酒吧，由于其基本的社会，经济和文化功能，在当地的socioeconomies。在响应，这项研究，与Plunkett基金会合作，旨在评估英国农村酒吧的适应性弹性在contemporarycrisis。虽然“韧性”的概念在2008年金融危机后受到了广泛关注，但这一概念应对英国退欧和COVID-19的独特和相互作用的影响的能力需要引起高度重视。由于酒吧在当地经济中发挥着重要的公民和经济功能，因此将这些功能集中在围绕农村恢复力的基于地点的政策讨论中不仅是可能的，而且是合乎逻辑的。英国脱欧和COVID-19在地理上的不均衡、渐进和不确定性表现，对理论和政策来说是一个前所未有的挑战。通过一个多层次的机构的方法，这项研究将加强conceptualisations的adaptiveresilience通过评估正式和非正式的机构，通过它是（重新）整个英国的下放国家生产。因此，它旨在为英国农村酒吧和新兴社区守法政策的应用制定建议。重要的是，它将确定在当代经济危机中农村地区酒吧的关键脆弱性和机会，并将这些发现应用于复原力理论。

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.
