For my research paper I am planning on giving an overview of how the definition of panarchy has changed since the 19th century from a form of government, to an ecological focus on resilience, and now back to global governance. I would like to finish the paper with more tangible recommendations of how modern governments, policy makers, and businesses can adapt the theory and what the future implementation might look like along with some examples.

Initial Plan
 * identify main players in panarchy theory and compile their research
 * make a timeline of the shifts/changes in the use of panarchy as a theoretical principle
 * find relevant examples of use of panarchy theory in modern times
