This book focuses on the policy capacities, built up since the 2003
SARS crisis, that have contributed to Singapore's Covid-19 response
efforts. In doing so, the book discusses the fiscal, operational,
analytical and political capacities that have driven Singapore's
policy response to the pandemic, and proposes a broad policy
capacity framework that will be applicable to the analysis of other
contexts as well. The Covid-19 pandemic has brought about massive
disruptions in societies and economies across the world.
Singapore's early success in managing the Covid-19 pandemic has
received much attention from researchers and observers from across
the world. A study by the T.H. Chan School of Public Health at
Harvard University had described Singapore's early efforts to
detect and contain Covid-19 as the "gold standard of near-perfect
detection". Despite its success in containing Covid-19 infections,
Singapore has also faced challenges arising from systemic policy
blind spots, resulting in high levels of infection in its migrant
worker dormitories. With that, the book also discusses the systemic
blind spots and policy shortcomings that have emerged in
Singapore's response to the Covid-19 pandemic, and provides policy
recommendations on policy capacity-building for future pandemics
and crises. The book will be of strong interest to scholars and
students of public policy and crisis management, especially those
who specialise in healthcare policy and pandemic response. Given
the ongoing challenges posed by Covid-19 as well as the continued
risks of other future infectious disease outbreaks, the book will
also be useful for policymakers and practitioners seeking to draw
policy lessons from Singapore's experience with the SARS and
Covid-19 outbreaks.
