This book explores the resilience in urban neighborhoods affected by
chronic conflict and violence, developing a new model for improving
resilience policies. The neighborhood resilience approach is an
inclusive form of building positive resilience, which recognizes that
local communities possess valuable skills and experience of dealing
with crises, and prioritizes the agency of local communities in the
production of knowledge and developing practices. The book identifies
and describes the repertoire of neighborhood resilience practices
organized in four clusters: (1) addressing the structure of conflict;
(2) increasing the effectiveness of external resources; (3) enhancing
the community capacities; and (4) reflecting the dynamics of identity
and power in neighborhoods. One of the key findings of the book is the
nonlinear connections between structure and dynamics of conflict and
neighborhood resilience practices represented in the Four Loops Model.
The concentration on community-based practices addresses macro-level
critiques of neo-liberalism in critical resilience studies and
encourages rethinking the ways community-based indicators might
operate in combination with existing macro indicators of resilience.
The bottom-up indicators provide more specific details and essential
localized experiences for improving resilience policies at the
national level. This book will be of much interest to students of
conflict resolution, resilience, urban studies, and US politics.
