This book seeks to identify the reasons why some countries were
more efficient and effective than others in responding to the COVID
19 pandemic, and why the global community failed to coalesce. What
are the political determinants of the different state responses to
the pandemic? Why was scientific advice rejected or ignored in many
countries? What has been the role, respectively, of neoliberalism,
populism, and authoritarianism in the making of Covid-19 policy?
What role have each of these factors played in the uneven and
clearly inadequate global response to the pandemic? In an effort to
understand why some states failed to handle the pandemic properly,
some of the literature suggests that populism is at the root of the
current failure of international co-operation. The global financial
crisis of 2008-10 triggered significant cooperation within the
G-20, led by the combined efforts of the United States and China.
These forms of cooperation have clearly disappeared in the context
of the pandemic, not only with respect to economic policy but also
in public health and management. The authors of this volume link
the different state responses to the pandemic-- from its inception
to the start of the vaccination campaign, and to the political
regimes prevailing in each. In particular, the present volume
focuses on a distinction between the responses of neo-liberal
regimes, populist regimes and authoritarian ones.
