Reviews

“The Covid-19 pandemic may have started as a health concern, but it rapidly affected broader state-society relations. In recognising this impact, this book provides a necessary and important reflection on how the pandemic was governed in 12 intriguing country case studies. It is an essential read for scholars interested in the governance of a crisis.” Fiona Anciano, Professor of Political Studies, University of the Western Cape, South Africa
