This book explores the reasons behind the variation in national
responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. In doing so, it furthers the
policy studies scholarship through an examination of the effects of
policy styles on national responses to the pandemic. Despite
governments being faced with the same threat, significant variation
in national responses, frequently of contradictory nature, has been
observed. Implications about responses inform a broader class of
crises beyond this specific context. The authors argue that trust
in government interacts with policy styles resulting in different
responses and that the acute turbulence, uncertainty, and urgency
of crises complicate the ability of policymakers to make sense of
the problem. Finally, the book posits that unless there is high
trust between society and the state, a decentralized response will
likely be disastrous and concludes that while national responses to
crises aim to save lives, they also serve to project political
power and protect the status quo. This text will be of key interest
to scholars and students of public policy, public administration,
political science, sociology, public health, and crisis
management/disaster management studies.
