I’m currently enjoying “Making Sense of Chaos” by J. Doyne Farmer. It’s about complexity economics.

Why might it be relevant to your literature review? For example, an interesting case study for you to consider could be how Farmer and his collaborators modelled the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the British economy. There are a few more potentially relevant chapters in the book, given the importance of trade (and hence economics in order to understand trade) for global disasters.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks for your work, really impressed by what you're building here!

Not a paper recommendation, but reading the section about democratic resilience made me think of Acemoglu's The Narrow Corridor. It's been a few years since I read it, but found it super insightful. (My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3094979990)

Thank you for both the kind words and the recommendation. I am myself a bit surprised how big this living literature has gotten over time. We are easily at book length now.

The book sounds really fascinating. I'll put it on my reading list. Though I feel there is still so much out there I have to read. I am barely keeping with the new papers I find^^
