Resilience Amidst Disruptions
Against the rapid changes in today’s
global environment, the concept of
resilience has become increasingly
important as a goal for societies and
states affected by different types of
crises. In light of new types of disrup-
tions, the concern about resilience –
particularly building resilience for vul-
nerable communities that are strug-
gling to bounce back and/or adapt af-
ter a disaster – has been become
more critical. As a policy goal, resili-
ence has reached higher political sig-
nificance and relevance in global gov-
ernance given the interconnected and
transnational implications of building
resilience amidst 21st century disrup-
tions.
What is new about the kinds of disrup-
tions we face today? And, how should
these kinds of disruptions be ad-
dressed collectively by the internation-
al community? These were some of
the major questions deliberated on at
the 3rd Annual Convention of the Con-
sortium of Non-Traditional Security
(NTS) in Asia held in Singapore on 27-
28th March 2018.
Building resilience and dealing with
disruptions are not mutually exclusive.
But in order to deal with both concerns
comprehensively, one needs to under-
stand what is new about resilience and
about disruptions in a changed global
environment. Disruption refers to an
event that challenges an existing order
and may catalyse gradual or radical
changes in norms and practices in eco-
nomic activity, security and political
stability within state and society. Dis-
ruptions in Asian countries have
caused fundamental changes in the
past half-century, from war, poverty
and hunger to climate change and
technological development.
The impacts of climate change and
technological advancements have
been notably dramatic. Climate
change has been known to be a threat
multiplier, generating ‘consequences of
consequences’, from water, energy
and food scarcity to forced migration
and the emergence of new types of
infectious diseases. Climate change-
induced extreme weather patterns
have also resulted in catastrophic dis-

asters that have wrought massive
devastation on lives and property,
causing massive displacement of
human population.
Meanwhile, the rapid advances in
technology, also known as the
‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’, have
brought about significant implica-
tions on many aspects of human
life and on the nature of inter-state
and intra-state relations. The im-
pact of technological advancement
has revolutionary changed the na-
ture of inter-personal communica-
tion, information processing, busi-
ness transactions and even the
conduct of political campaigns.
However, both people and states
are not yet prepared for the disrup-
tions brought about by technologi-
cal breakthroughs such as privacy
breach, cybercrime and even
cyberterrorism.
There are clear policy imperatives
in understanding and dealing with
these new kinds of disruptions and
their effects on the environment
and climate, agriculture and food,
on humanitarian crisis and forced
displacement, and cyber space.
But in order to build societal resili-
ence and ensure the security of
states and societies, one must not
lose sight of the more structural
causes that can magnify the vul-
nerabilities of affected groups and
communities. This is where no-
tions of resilience must also be
revisited against new kinds of
complexities that these disruptions
generate on the ability of vulnera-
ble communities to cope, bounce
back and adapt. This means that
the task of building resilience goes
beyond building capacity and em-
powering local communities to re-
spond to disasters. It also neces-
sitates the need to link local initia-
tives with regional and global
frameworks and institutions that
are geared to respond to these
disruptions. In doing so, building
resilience is a participatory and
inclusive policy framework that
brings together multiple stakehold-
ers, both public and private actors,
working collaboratively at multiple
levels from the local and national
to the regional and international
arena.
