Policy discourses and academic debates provide evidence that resilience has become one of the leading ideas to deal with uncertainty and change in our times. This applies for numerous and diverse discourses such as flood risk management (Steinfuehrer et al. 2009), urban development policy (Linovski 2010; Mueller 2011), responding to terrorism (Coaffee et al. 2009), and mega-projects like the Olympic Games (Jennings and Lodge 2010), just to name a few. Resilience also appears in a diverse range of publications from institutional (Anderies et al. 2004), organizational (Weick 2009), and climate change adaptation research (Pelling 2011).
