Dear Asif,
take a look at Resilience thinking; cultural and social sustainability has a lot to do with it.
Stockholm resilience centre (in general)
2 nice books:
Resilience thinking [Walker, Salt]
Complexity theory for a sustainable future [Norberg and Cumming]
Hope it will help!
Regards,
Thank you very much for your intellectual contributions. Simon I have gone through the papers they are quite helpful to understand the problem. Dear Imaah your justification of dynamic determinants is quite true but further clarification and investigation is required. Thank you very much Luis and Laura for your suggested books and article.
regards
