Good Governance Strategies and Pandemic Crisis Management

Abstract

COVID-19 crisis management has been a multi-level governance issue. Moreover, the way governments have approached the COVID-19 crisis has also become a major research trend worldwide. Different national and local governments have adopted verious strategies in managing the pandemic response, due to differences in existing political structures and dynamics. From 2019 to 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic is the main enemy in most countries of the world, affecting in 2020 more than 50 million people worldwide. Governments around the world have had to deal with a number of uncertainties, to make difficult decisions or compromises, while facing challenges from health care, economic and social systems. While the COVID-19 pandemic has hit states with various intensity, the response to the crisis has been an unprecedented challenge for most governments, which have reacted differently to the health, economy and well-being of citizens, as evidenced by studies that will be presented in this paper.
