摘要:Innovative combinations of social and ecological theory are required to deal with complexity and change in human-ecological systems. We examined the interplay and complementarities that emerge by linking resilience and social well-beingapproaches. First, we reflected on the limitations of applying ecological resilience concepts to social systems from the perspectiveof social theory, and particularly, the concept of well-being. Second, we examined the interplay of resilience and well-beingconcepts in fostering a social-ecological perspective that promises more appropriate management and policy actions. Weexamined five key points of interplay: (1) the limits of optimization thinking (e.g., maximum sustainable yield), (2) the role ofhuman agency and values, (3) understandings of scale, (4) insights on "controlling variables," and (5) perspectives on thresholdsand boundaries. Based on this synthesis, we offer insights to move incrementally towards interdisciplinary research andgovernance for complex social-ecological systems
