“…Institutional resilience is the ability of a social system (society, community, organisation) to absorb and recover from external shocks, while positively adapting and transforming to address long-term changes and uncertainty (Anderson and Tollenaere, 2020;Juncos & Joseph, 2020;Aligicia & Tarko, 2014). Investing in strong, well-functioning and adaptable social systems, such as health, education and social protection systems, can build resilience, as these help to cushion the negative economic and social effects of crises (Strupat & Marschall, 2020).…”

“…A systems-level theory of change and approach explores what intervention or set of interventions will tip a conflict system to a non-violent system that is improving over time (see Juncos & Joseph, 2020). A systemic view also requires consideration of how to adapt and absorb repeated shocks and to understand how these shocks affect different sectors (Gilson et al 2017;cited in Hanefeld et al, 2018).…”

“…Internal capacities of societies, such as social capital, networks and leadership, are often highlighted in the literature as key to fostering community resilience and enabling institutions to adapt and innovate (Juncos & Joseph, 2020;Lee, 2020;Barma et al, 2014;Frankenberger et al, 2014). Institutions that build relations with citizens and gain citizens' trust are also more resilient (Anderson & Tollenaere, 2020).…”

Mainstreaming Institutional Resilience and Systems Strengthening in Donor Policies and Programming

This rapid review synthesises evidence on key aspects of mainstreaming institutional resilience and systems strengthening in donor policies and programming in FCAS (Fragile and Conflict-affect States) contexts, particularly in nutrition (food security), health, WASH and the economic sector. Institutional resilience is the ability of a social system (society, community, organisation) to absorb and recover from external shocks, while positively adapting and transforming to address long-term changes and uncertainty. Investing in strong, well-functioning and adaptable social systems, such as health, education and social protection systems, can build resilience, as this help to cushion the negative economic and social effects of crises. While development actors have established guidance on how institutions can be made more effective, inclusive and accountable, there is much less literature on institutional resilience and how development actors can help to foster it. Much of the literature notes a lack of systematic evidence on applying the concept of resilience. These gaps extend to a dearth of guidance on how development actors can mainstream institutional resilience and systems strengthening into their policies and programmes. This rapid review draws on common factors discussed in the literature that are considered important to the strengthening of resilience and particular systems. These may, in turn, provide an indication of ways in which to mainstream institutional resilience and systems strengthening into development policy and programming

“…At the same time, at the strategic level, peacebuilding has turned more experimental with effects yet unknown. Cautiously acknowledging the non-linearity of war-peace dynamics, international peacebuilding actors flirt increasingly and insecurely with concepts including adaptation and resilience (de Coning 2016;Juncos 2018;Juncos and Joseph 2020).…”

This is a literature-reviewing and conceptualizing article introducing a Special Issue that is addressing the broad field of 'peacebuilding amidst violence'. We take as a point of departure that peacebuilding (as we know it) is widely failing to deliver on its promises. Moreover, the atypical nature and persistence of violence in post-war phases are further undermining the prospect of linear transition from war to peace as typically expected in peacebuilding ventures. We extend, however, our argument and claim that in spite of creative 'turns', the concept has exhausted its adaptive capacity, and both conceptually and empirically has few options left. We investigate the three possible, as we see it, remaining options, which all include paradigmatic changes, namely the closure of, the refusal of the failure of, and the reenacting of, peacebuilding. Although the 're-enacting' is the preferred way forward for the authors of this introductory article, it rather opens up for the ensuing articles presented in the issue than concludes of the desirability and feasibility of that path.

“…Resilience is a central idea integral to neoliberal governmentality. Denoting 'the ability to withstand and survive shocks and disturbances' (Joseph 2013, 39), resilience is not limited to societal and organizational management, but increasingly takes an individualized form (Juncos and Joseph 2020). Resilience within neoliberal governmentality entails 'the idea that we must change our behaviour and adapt to things beyond our control' (Joseph 2013, 43).…”

‘Authoritarian Neoliberalism’ and Youth Empowerment in Jordan

This article examines youth entrepreneurship in Jordan in the context of the country's neoliberal reforms. Drawing on Foucauldian scholarship on neoliberal governmentality and the literature on authoritarian neoliberalism, we argue that youth empowerment is part of the Jordanian regime's strategy of subject formation along neoliberal lines through the dissemination of market ideas of competitiveness, enterprise society and self-responsibility. The article presents new empirical material that includes interviews conducted in Jordan and Egypt and highlights how the King's two initiatives display a win-win relationship for the regime and the youth alike without necessarily challenging the status.
