In the following, we examine several cases in past societies where we can observe (1) both top-down and bottom-up responses to significant environmental challenges, how different sectors of society responded or reacted, and where we can detect positive as well as negative outcomes; (2) the differential costs of resilience when states are faced with substantial economic and political challenges; and (3) state-and society-level responses to pandemics and both planned and unintended consequences.	cache/cord-307753-p1htdvrp.txt	txt/cord-307753-p1htdvrp.txt
