Written by three eminent scholars in the field of the politics and policy of crisis management, it offers a unique ?bird?s eye? view of the immense logistical and political challenges of addressing a worst-case scenario that would prove the ultimate stress test for societies, governments, governing institutions and political leaders. It examines how governments and governing systems have (i) made sense of emerging transboundary threats that have spilled across health, economic, political and social systems (ii) mobilised systems of governance and often fearful and sceptical citizens (iii) crafted narratives amid high uncertainty about the virus and its impact and (iv) are working towards closure and a return to ?normal? when things can never quite be the same again. The book also offers the building blocks of pathways to future resilience. Succeeding and failing in all these realms is tied in with governance structures, experts, trust, leadership capabilities and political ideologies. The book appeals to anyone seeking to understand ?what?s going on??, but particularly academics and students across multiple disciplines, journalists, public officials, politicians, non-governmental organisations and citizen groups. 606 $aCOVID-19 Pandemic, 2020-$xPolitical aspects 606 $aCrisis management in government 606 $aComparative politics$2bicssc 606 $aPublic administration$2bicssc 610 $aComparative Politics 610 $aPublic Policy 610 $aPublic Administration 610 $aOpen Access 610 $aCOVID-19 610 $acoronavirus 610 $apandemic 610 $acrisis management 610 $acrisis decision-making 610 $apolitical theory 610 $acrisis politics 610 $acrisis exploitation 610 $apolicymaking 610 $ainstitutional reform 610 $ademocratic governance 610 $atransboundary crises 610 $acrisis communication 610 $acrisis narratives 610 $acentralization 610 $aeffectiveness 610 $alegitimacy 610 $aleadership credibility 610 $apublic trust 615 0$aCOVID-19 Pandemic, 2020-$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aCrisis management in government. 615 7$aComparative politics 615 7$aPublic administration 676 $a352.2 676 $a352.2 700 $aBoin$b Arjen$0899611 701 $aMcConnell$b Allan$f1957-$01440009 701 $a't Hart$b Paul$0899613 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476914603321 996 $aGoverning the pandemic$93602438 997 $aUNINA
