Title: Regional Resilience through the Lenses of the Capability Approach.
Abstract: Regional resilience has been widely studied in economics and economic geography. The extant literature
proposes different measures and definitions, without achieving a unitary view of the concept. In this paper, an
interpretation of regional resilience thorough Sen’s capability approach is proposed. In particular, resilience
emerges as a collective capability, and “being resilient” as a collective functioning. Individual characteristics
of the agents operating in a region and the interaction between them lead to this interpretation. The definitions
and measures adopted by the extant literature appear to be parts of a whole, which is difficult to capture in a
single analysis.
