This is the sixth (and final) entry in a series of articles where I look at the Vita's success in providing a portable version of classic consoles. The COVID-19 outbreak was neither unpredictable nor unforeseen, yet it blind-sided policymakers when it emerged, leading to unprecedented global restrictions on human activity and almost certainly triggering the first global economic contraction since WWII.By Adam Cartwright, posted on 02 December 2018 / 5,221 Views This paper considers the key factors in the eruption of the crisis, as well as the lessons that should be learned from it.

The paper begins with an outline of COVID-19’s spread, highlighting six key drivers that have determined its severity: the exponential pace of transmission, global interconnectedness, health-sector capacity, wider state capacity, the economic impact of suppression measures, and fragilities caused by the 2008 financial crisis. The paper then proceeds by considering the steps that have been taken in response to five key challenges, corresponding to elements of the IRGC risk governance framework: technical assessment, risk perception, evaluation, management and communication. While acknowledging that only tentative conclusions can be drawn at this early stage, the paper ends with a series of ten recommendations designed to increase preparedness for future crises.
The current Covid-19 pandemic challenges not only the health sector, but also the public administration system in Austria, in particular the local level: executing the necessary actions to assure public health, and to monitor the lockdown as well as to smoothen its consequences for the public, but also within the PA poses new tasks and responsibilities on the local administrations. The question thus is how do administrations cope with the challenges posed on them by the pandemic, what can we learn from comparing the responses and adjustments of public administrations to crises? These questions are tackled drawing to the results of a public administration survey conducted in Austria in April/May 2020. Overall, the local administrations consider their own authorities to be efficient and innovative also in times of crisis, and assume that the municipalities will master the challenges posed by the pandemic, in particular by learning and innovation due to the crisis, but also structural adjustments and networking activities. The COVID‐19 crisis has shown that European countries still remain poorly prepared for dealing and coping with health crises and for responding in a coordinated way to a severe influenza pandemic. Within the EU, the response to the COVID‐19 virus has a striking diversity in its approach. By focusing on Belgium, France, Germany and Italy, four countries which represent different models of administrative systems in Europe, the analysis shows that major similarities and convergences have become apparent from a cross‐countries perspective. Moreover, coping with the crises has been first and foremost an issue of the national states whereas the European voice has been weak. Hence, the countries' immediate responses has appeared to be Corona‐nationalistic, which we label as Coronationalism. The paper shows to what extent the four countries adopted different crisis management strategies and which factors explain this variance, with a special focus on their institutional settings and administrative systems. Governments are being put to the test as they struggle with the fast and wide spread of COVID‐19. This article discusses the compelling challenges posed by the COVID‐19 pandemic by examining how this wicked problem has been managed by the South Korean government with agile‐adaptive, transparent actions to mitigate the sudden surge of COVID‐19. Unlike many western countries, the South Korean government has been able to successfully contain the spread of COVID‐19 without a harsh forced lockdown of the epicenter of the virus. This article argues that an agile‐adaptive approach, a policy of transparency in communicating risk, and citizens' voluntary cooperation are critical factors. This study also suggests that the South Korean government learned costly lessons from the MERS failure of 2015.

This study suggests ways western countries can manage future wicked problems like COVID‐19 without paying too much cost and maintaining quality of life in open and free societies. This article is aimed at analysing local and intergovernmental responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany during the ‘first wave’ of the pandemic. It will answer the question of how the intergovernmental system in Germany responded to the crisis and to what extent the pandemic has changed patterns of multi-level governance (MLG).
