Economic resilience and social capital of the Italian region

This research examines the relationship between resilience and social capital in the context of Italian regions. Despite the strong limitation of bringing together two measurement methodologies of two very different economic and social dimensions, this study adds additional elements to the understanding of the territories and their ability to adapt and respond to economic shocks. On the one hand, this study presents a review of the theory on the concepts of resilience and social capital. On the other hand, the relationship between the two territorial characteristics is analyzed and the two measurements are compared.
