National and Global Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic

This book traces the evolution of Covid across different geographic regions, showing how the varying responses of leaders, citizens and other key stakeholders in efforts to tackle the Covid crisis determined outcomes. It finds that leadership, in particular, played a critical role, while initial conditions, such as health-care spending and infrastructure are important factors contributing to a country's preparedness in coping with a pandemic. The book explores changes in human behaviour, working habits and lifestyles, and offers policy prescriptions for global cooperation in the sharing of Covid-19 data and vaccines, more proactive interventions and strengthening of health-care systems.
