Citations in the corpus

• Economic resilience to natural and man-made disasters: Multidisciplinary origins and contextual dimensions (2007, background): “Klein et al. (2003) have noted, however, and this author concurs, that some definitions of resilience are so broad as to render the term meaningless.”
• A Theory on Urban Resilience to Floods—A Basis for Alternative Planning Practices (2012, background): “A city remaining as a city means little to those who have lost their lives and to those forced into permanent hardship (Klein et al. 2003).”
• Measuring household resilience to floods: A case study in the Vietnamese Mekong River Delta (2013, background): “This characteristic has been mostly accepted by resilience researchers (Klein et al. 2003, Carpenter et al. 2001, Folke 2006).”
• FLOOD DAMAGE, VULNERABILITY AND RISK PERCEPTION – CHALLENGES FOR FLOOD DAMAGE RESEARCH (2006, background): “2 It should be mentioned that there also exists a discourse on natural hazards and social resilience, which is closely related to the social vulnerability debate (e.g., Tobin 1999, Adger 2000, Carpenter et al. 2001, Klein et al. 2003).”
• Is resilience socially constructed? Empirical evidence from Fiji, Ghana, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam (2016, positive): “…in the planning and implementation of interventions in many sectors including humanitarian activities (DFID, 2011), disaster risk reduction (Klein et al., 2003), climate change adaptation (Boyd et al., 2008), social protection (World Bank, 2011), and food security and nutrition (von…”
• Regional Resilience: An Agency Perspective (2014, background): “One such emergent property is self-organization, i.e. organization that has no leader but is generated spontaneously by the individual decisions and interactions of the agents themselves and without centralized direction (KLEIN et al., 2003).”
