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. © 2022 selection and editorial matter, Nikolaos Zahariadis, Evangelia Petridou, Theofanis Exadaktylos and Jörgen Sparf.","PeriodicalId":118983,"journal":{"name":"Policy Styles and Trust in the Age of Pandemics: Global Threat, National Responses","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0000,"publicationDate":"2022-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":"14","resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":null,"PeriodicalName":"Policy Styles and Trust in the Age of Pandemics: Global Threat, National Responses","FirstCategoryId":"1085","ListUrlMain":"https://doi.org/10.4324/9781003137399","RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":null,"ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":null,"EPubDate":"","PubModel":"","JCR":"","JCRName":"","Score":null,"Total":0}

流行病时代的政策风格与信任
本书探讨了各国应对COVID-19大流行的差异背后的原因。在此过程中,它通过审查政策风格对国家应对这一流行病的影响,进一步推动了政策研究方面的学术研究。尽管各国政府都面临着同样的威胁,但各国的反应存在很大差异,而且往往是相互矛盾的。有关应对措施的含义,超出了这一特定背景,为更广泛的危机类别提供了信息。作者认为,对政府的信任与政策风格相互作用,导致不同的反应,危机的剧烈动荡、不确定性和紧迫性使政策制定者理解问题的能力复杂化。最后,这本书认为,除非社会和国家之间有高度的信任,否则分散的反应可能是灾难性的,并得出结论,虽然国家对危机的反应旨在拯救生命,但它们也有助于投射政治权力和维护现状。本书将是公共政策、公共行政、政治学、社会学、公共卫生和危机管理/灾害管理研究的学者和学生的主要兴趣。©2022选择和编辑事项,Nikolaos zaharadiis, Evangelia Petridou, Theofanis Exadaktylos和Jörgen Sparf。
