Title: National Government Responses to the COVID-19 Pandemic : An Exploration of Policies, Factors, and Lessons (to be) Learned
Authors: Dussauge-Laguna, Mauricio I.
Issue Date: Dec-2023
Publisher: 成蹊大学アジア太平洋研究センター
Abstract: This article presents an overview and analysis of key aspects of the policy responses that governments around the world designed and implemented to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. The article shows the complexities of government action in times of uncertainty, as policymakers had to face an unknown and unfolding crisis for which a priori there were no clearly effective tools. It also describes that, despite facing a common virus and associated challenges in health, economic, education, mobility and many other policy sectors, national governments followed a variety of policy paths. The article provides a discussion of factors that seem to have influenced policymakers’ decisions for choosing different policy mixes. The article is based on a review of the already extensive and continuously growing literature on policy responses to the pandemic in the Public Policy and Administration fields. While the objective is not to develop a “meta-analysis” or a “systematic literature review”, the paper does cover central topics which have been widely discussed in the literature. The article provides a brief account of how the pandemic came about; a discussion about the differences in national governments’ policy mixes; an analysis of the most important factors which may help to understand why, despite facing the same complex problem (or set of problems), governments around the world implemented different responses; and a few key lessons that governments could take into account to learn from these terrible years.
