6 The Social Costs of Resilience: An Example from the Faroe Islands
ABSTRACT When viewed at the level of social‐ecological system, the Faroe Islands are a model of long‐term resilience and sustainable resource management. But what have been the costs of this system‐level success in terms of human well‐being? In this chapter I focus on two key components of well‐bein...
