Communicating Resilience, Transformative Resilience, Transformative Change and Transformative Adaptation Policies in Eco-Social Systems Management Literature

Summary/Abstract: The study discusses the occurrence and conceptual association of “resilience”, “transformative resilience”, “transformative change” and “transformative adaptation” phrases set within the wider context of the management of change literature. The purpose of the study and objectives stem from the need of conceptual tracking, conceptual occurrence tracing and the identification of conceptual associations in the scientific literature over a period of time. The research design deploys a three-stage applied methodology: (S1) identifying conceptual longitudinal developing use in the scientific literature of resilience, transformative resilience, transformative change and transformative adaptation using the Google Ngram Viewer instrument, (S2) identifying the concept frequency in scientific articles and comparison across citation metrics databases Crossref and Google Scholar, and (S3) identifying the conceptual associations and related frequency for selected concepts employing the Google Ngram Viewer tool. The study succeeds in identifying occurrences in the scientific literature for the selected phrases resilience, transformative resilience, transformative change and transformative adaptation, in comparing the related concepts and phrases frequency in scientific papers, and in identifying the conceptual associations for representative concepts in the field of eco-social systems management of change literature.
