MAPPING TRENDS AND DIRECTIONS IN ECONOMIC RESILIENCE RESEARCH: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS FROM 2000 TO 2024

Abstract

Economic resilience is a crucial concept for addressing the challenges posed by global crises, economic uncertainty, and social disruption. This study analyzes the development trends in literature on resilient economies, community-based economies, and resilient livelihoods from 2000 to 2024 using a bibliometric approach. The analysis, conducted with VOSviewer software, maps publication trends, collaboration networks, and major thematic clusters in this field. Results indicate a significant spike in publications after 2010, peaking in 2019. Dominant topics include regional economic resilience, climate change adaptation, food security, and disaster risk reduction. Network visualization reveals nine major clusters, highlighting the close interconnectedness of economic resilience with social, environmental, and digitalization aspects. Furthermore, a comparison between the Scopus and Google Scholar databases indicates that research on resilient economies has a broader influence within the Google Scholar ecosystem. These findings emphasize the importance of synergy among government actors, local communities, and the private sector in building inclusive and sustainable economic resilience. Investments in human capital, technology-based innovation, and strengthening social capital are key factors in addressing future global challenges. This research provides an evidence- based foundation for developing adaptive and resilient economic development policies and programs.
