Received: 20 May 2014 / Revised: 9 November 2014 / Accepted: 22 November 2014 / Published: 3 December 2014 If resilience theory is to be of practical value for policy makers and resource managers, the theory must be translated into sensible decision-support tools. We present herein a set of resilience attributes, developed to characterize human-managed systems, that helps system stakeholders to make practical use of resilience concepts in tangible applications. In order to build and maintain resilience, these stakeholders must be able to understand what qualities or attributes enhance—or detract from—a system’s resilience.

Received: 12 September 2013 / Revised: 14 February 2014 / Accepted: 3 March 2014 / Published: 11 March 2014 This paper uses an empirical analysis of a water conflict in the German state of Brandenburg to explore diverse constructions of vulnerability to water scarcity by local stakeholders. It demonstrates how, in the absence of effective formal institutions, these constructions are getting translated into conflictual resilience strategies practiced by these stakeholders, creating situations in which “your resilience is my vulnerability”.

Politiques et pratiques de la résilience. 1Ce dossier porte sur un concept qui suscite un intérêt croissant en géographie depuis quelques années : la résilience.

Le concept n’est pas à proprement parler nouveau car de nombreuses disciplines y ont recours à l’image de l’écologie (Holling l’utilise dès 1973 pour décrire des systèmes évolutifs, qui absorbent les chocs, par opposition à des systèmes stables), des sciences physiques (où il désigne l’élasticité, la plasticité des matériaux soumis à des chocs), ou encore de la psychologie (qui l’a popularisé en France, notamment, suite aux travaux de B. Cyrulnik). 2L’utilisation du concept de résilience en sciences géographiques semble répondre aux bouleversements socio-économiques et technologiques mondiaux extrêmement rapides des dernières décennies qui ont modifié la perception et les modalités de gestion des risques, dans les sociétés industrialisées tout au moins (Beck, 2001). 4La plupart des auteurs s’attardent en effet sur ce couple vulnérabilité/résilience. Lallau. GEC_sdarticle2.pdf. i3084e. 21693293.2015. Du risque à la catastrophe.

On assiste depuis dix ans à la multiplication, en sciences humaines et sociales, des travaux traitant de la catastrophe. En attestent les nombreuses publications, en sociologie [1], en anthropologie [2], en histoire [3] ou en philosophie [4], pour lesquelles elle est un objet central. Certaines revues y ont consacré de substantiels dossiers (Esprit, 2008 ; Le Portique, 2008 ; Terrain, 2010) croisant les différents champs disciplinaires. On peut penser que l’augmentation du nombre de catastrophes ces dernières années (par exemple, le tsunami en 2004, l’ouragan Katrina en 2005, le séisme en Haïti en 2010, plus récemment le tsunami au Japon, mais aussi l’explosion de l’usine AZF en 2001 ou l’attaque terroriste contre les Twin Towers en 2001) explique très largement que celles-ci fassent l’objet d’une attention particulière, qu’il s’agisse de comprendre ce qu’elles impliquent ou plus spécifiquement d’envisager les manières de s’en prévenir.
