A Network of Networks: Building Resilience in the Globalised Era

The complexity and dynamism of networks necessitate a thorough examination of their resilience against the evolving challenges of globalisation. Using a Bibliometric‐Systematic Literature Review (B‐SLR), which is commonly considered a rigorous methodological approach, this article examines how the resilience of these networks can influence international relations and economic stability, particularly in a world shaped by soft, hard and smart power dynamics. By investigating intricate interactions within networks, we highlight the importance of developing robust frameworks capable of withstanding economic shocks and political changes. Our study cites emerging literature clusters to illustrate the interconnectedness of these networks, contributing to ongoing discussions on network resilience. By referencing emerging literature clusters and developing a conceptual framework that examines their mutual interconnections, our study addresses these critical aspects, contributing to ongoing discussions in the literature and proposing a future research agenda aimed at enhancing the robustness of international economic networks in response to contemporary global challenges. Thus, we contribute to fostering greater stability and adaptability in an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape.
