This article looks at the development of the resilience approach in EU foreign policy. Building state and societal resilience in the EU's neighbourhood has been identified as one of the key priorities in the EU global strategy. Here we critically analyse these developments and seek to provide an account of the complex dynamics within which the EU's approach to resilience is located. We argue that EU resilience-thinking is influenced by three broad dynamics – the neoliberal and Anglo-Saxon approaches to resilience in the sphere of global governance; the particular normative discourse of the EU as a certain type of global actor (the EU as a normative/liberal power); and the multilevel character of the EU with its complex institutional structure and path dependencies which results in decoupling. As a consequence, the 'translation' of resilience constitutes an emergent project at the EU level, but also brings with it new challenges. The argument will be illustrated through a study of the EU global strategy and the Joint Communication on resilience in the neighbourhood.

The focus of this book is on the application and relevance of the concept of resilience to tourism. As well as summarizing the growth of the concept in the social sciences and tourism especially, this book illustrates: (i) the key elements involved in making the concept relevant to communities; (ii) the ways in which it can be used to enable communities to mitigate the effects of disasters and conflict; (iii) the relevance to small and highly vulnerable communities; (iv) how it can be significant to the tourism industry even in the most commodified of settings; and (v) its role in a changing political world. Part 1 (chapters 1-3) discusses the original definitions and applications of the concept in the natural sciences and its being adopted and adapted in the social sciences. Part 2 (chapters 4-6) examines resilience in a socio-ecological setting, whereby the concept is used to bring together the relevant ecological issues and the social science counterparts in terms of the way the concept could be applied in tourism destination communities. Part 3 (chapters 7-9) explores ways to deal with post-conflict and post-disaster situations in tourism using resilience measures. Part 4 (chapters 10-13) examines resilience in those settings in which it is already a familiar context: remote and insular communities and protected areas. Part 5 (chapters 14-16) focuses on the tourism industry, its economic and political links and relationships by exploring resilience and sustainability along with responsibility.

Although qualitative secondary analyses are conducted across the social sciences, supra-assorted analyses that involve both the re-use of existing data and the collection of new, primary data are relatively uncommon. Additionally, discussions regarding qualitative secondary analysis have tended to ignore the re-use of researchers' own data (i.e., auto-data). Thus, with this article, we aim to contribute to this discussion by providing an example of a supra-assorted analysis in which we re-used data from one of our previous studies, Lone Mothers: Building Social Inclusion. This earlier, longitudinal study was conducted with 104 poor lone mothers across Canada. We supplemented this dataset with data from three focus groups and 20 semi-structured interviews engaging a total of 38 lone mothers. Both studies were informed by a feminist and social inclusion lens, and recruited a diverse sample of women in three cities across the country: Vancouver, British Columbia; Toronto, Ontario; and St. John's, Newfoundland. In addition, most of the lone mothers who participated in the secondary analysis had also been involved in the original study as interviewees and/or research assistants. We conclude the article by discussing the strengths and limitations of, and lessons learned from, the secondary study's design.
