Analysis of economic instruments related to economic resilience

Abstract

Resilience is a concept taken from various research fields such as psychology, ecology and engineering and transferred to security studies. At the epistemological level, we need to establish the utility of such a concept, as well as its identity, and its concrete added value for security studies, as it overlaps with a number of other concepts such as security, vulnerability, good governance, sustainability. The main objective of this paper is to analyze conceptual approaches to economic resilience in the context of sustainable development. The scientific tools applied to achieve the outlined objectives involve traditional systemic and advanced scientific research methods: the documentary method including for the formation of databases, the synthesis method applied to establish the connections between the researched phenomena; the systemic analysis method, through which the main components of economic resilience will be researched; the method of quantitative and qualitative analysis, applied to the analysis and interpretation of economic resilience indicators through the prism of macroeconomic indicators. The article was developed within the framework of Subprogram 030101 „Strengthening the resilience, competitiveness, and sustainability of the economy of the Republic of Moldova in the context of the accession process to the European Union”, institutional funding.
