Abstract

The panel attracts scholarship in the policy sciences that aim to understand the dynamics related to COVID-19 from a comparative perspective. The world is in the grip of a crisis that stands unprecedented in living memory. The COVID-19 pandemic is urgent, global in scale, and massive in impacts. Yet, countries or sub-national entities vary in their policy responses to the COVID-19 crisis. In this panel, scholars present their comparative research about the ways in which the shock of the COVID-19 pandemic impacts policy processes and decisions across countries or localities.
