Renaissance of Resilience: A Buzzword or a New Ideal?
以新冠疫情为例，指出风险在不同社会经济群体间分配不均、官僚体系适应不力、多层级治理缺乏协调等问题，认为这些不公与低效在疫情前就已存在，灾害的社会影响主要由现行秩序放大。
The COVID-19 pandemic, an unprecedented public health crisis in the 21 st century, demonstrates how risks are unequally distributed among different socioeconomic groups, how bureaucratic systems can be ineffectively adapting to the fast-paced changing dynamics, and how multi-level governance frameworks may lack coordination between national and regional sectors. The pandemic does not cause the unjust prerogatives to quarantine, testing kits, and even potential vaccines. The injustice, ineffectiveness, and a lack of coordination existed before the pandemic and are more noticeably presented by this public health disaster. No hazards are 'natural'. The coronavirus may originate from nature, but the adverse effects are mostly generated and magnified by current socioeconomic orders.
