INTRODUCTION
Overview to the topic
Existence of democratic systems of the government helps in fulfilling the common
functions of maintaining security in the environment, providing adequate public services and
ensuring equal treatment under the law (Leigh and Blakely, 2016). It supports in overall
development of the economy. Important role is played by effective political framework,
complexity and resilience in overall development of the economy.
Long lasting and deep rooted political challenges aids in shaping the economy as well as
social economy in positive manner. It helps in ensuring economic stabilisation, conflict
management, resource distribution etc. A politically stable country i.e. UK is able to take up the
challenges emerging in the economy for which better solutions can be provided. The success of a
country has high dependence on economic policies being framed by the political framework of
the country. The common impact of various elements has been found by the researchers, such as,
regime type, political stability or instability, policy management, level of corruption prevailing in
the country and trade laws (Holzner, 2016). It can lead to increase or decrease in the national
saving and prevailing interest rate in the economy. It helps in potentially increasing or decreasing
the size of the economy. Researchers have suggested that not all types of changes in the
governance and resilience have impact on the economy.
Improvement of infrastructure of the country can guide in improving industrial policies
and help in gaining national competencies at the global level. It plays an important role in
facilitating trade. Enhancement in trading activities of the country can be in the form of transport
infrastructure (railways, ports, road density network, air transport and logistics) and Information
and Communication Technology (extensive availability of internet servers, mobile phones,
broadband access, increase in the number of internet users, secured internet servers etc. It has a
positive trade effect on exports and imports of the country.
Aim and Objectives
The aim for the present research can be “To ascertain the relationship and between
Governance, complexity and resilience along with its impact on society” – A study on UK
Based on the above aim, following objectives of the research can be framed:
 To identify the governance challenges posed by the behavior of complex and dynamic so-
cial ecological system in context to UK

 To understand the importance of redesigning effective political and tax system with
interlinked infrastructure.
 To examine main dimensions of resilience
 To recommend ways for managing the complexity of resilience
Research Questions
Based on the above objectives, following research questions can be framed:
 What are the challenges that are imposed by the complex and dynamic social ecological
system in context to UK?
 What is the importance of redesigning effective political and tax system with interlinked
infrastructure?
 What is the main dimensions of resilience?
 What are the recommendations on better strategies for managing the complexity of
resilience?
Importance of the research
It is important that research that is going to be conducted by the researcher must hold
certain importance. The main purpose of the present research is to ascertain the importance of
redesigning effective political and tax system interface with interlinked infrastructure for a
positive economic development (Kalra, Chotia and Goel, 2016). This research will help in
understanding the impact of these three factors on the overall development of the economy. The
research also holds adequate amount of importance in recommending regarding the same so that
better policies and procedures can be framed by the policymakers for the country.
Rationale of the study
It is important that if a study is conducted by the researcher, it must be able to serve
certain purpose. The scholar does not own adequate amount of knowledge regarding impact of
political and infrastructural system on the overall development of the country's and social
economy. Redesigning the same can also help in achieving better outputs for the country. Hence,
the researcher will be able to gather adequate amount of knowledge regarding the subject matter.
Moreover, the research will also be beneficial for better policy formation which will ultimately
contribute in positive economic grow the nation.
