Abstract

Abstract The goal of this paper is to identify critical factors in success/failure of public policies focusing on fighting the spread of COVID-19 pandemic using a sample of three countries from Central and Eastern Europe with different results regarding COVID-19 morbidity and mortality rates, namely the Czech Republic, the Russian Federation, and the Slovak Republic. Based on comprehensive literature review, three independent variables were worked out: the scope/scale of public policy anti-pandemic interventions, the timing of public policy interventions, and the success of public policies in motivating compliance with anti-pandemic measures. Taking into account the similarity of measures introduced by national governments, the results suggest that the timing of public policy responses and success in motivating compliance may be critical factors in containing the pandemic.

应对新冠肺炎传播的公共政策对策是决定健康结果的一个潜在因素：捷克共和国、俄罗斯联邦和斯洛伐克共和国的比较研究

摘要本文的目标是利用中欧和东欧三个国家（即捷克共和国、俄罗斯联邦和斯洛伐克共和国）的样本，确定以抗击新冠肺炎疫情传播为重点的公共政策成功/失败的关键因素，这三个国家在新冠肺炎发病率和死亡率方面取得了不同的结果。在全面文献综述的基础上，得出了三个自变量：公共政策抗疫干预的范围/规模、公共政策干预的时间以及公共政策在促使遵守抗疫措施方面的成功。考虑到各国政府采取的措施的相似性，研究结果表明，公共政策应对的时机和激励遵守的成功可能是遏制疫情的关键因素。

期刊介绍： The Central European Journal of Public Policy (CEJPP) is an open-access, multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal with primary focus upon analytical, theoretical and methodological articles in the field of public policy. The journal does not have article processing charges (APCs) nor article submission charges. The aim of the CEJPP is to provide academic scholars and professionals in different policy fields with the latest theoretical and methodological advancements in public policy supported by sound empirical research. The CEJPP addresses all topics of public policy including social services and healthcare, environmental protection, education, labour market, immigration, security, public financing and budgeting, administrative reform, performance measurements, governance and others. It attempts to find a balance between description, explanation and evaluation of public policies and encourages a wide range of social science approaches, both qualitative and quantitative. Although the journal focuses primarily upon Central Europe, relevant contributions from other geographical areas are also welcomed in order to enhance public policy research in Central Europe.
