Governments' Responses to the Covid-19 Pandemic in Europe
This book examines similarities and differences in 31 European governments’ responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic hit Europe in early 2020. It spread across the continent during the Spring while anxious electorates were treated to news reports about health systems under duress and frustrated attempts by public procurement officials to obtain adequate supplies of medical and protective equipment. Over the next 15–18 months considered by this book, national responses exhibited both similarities and profound variations as the different endeavours to regulate social interactions constituted a stress test for political systems across Europe.
A Modern Guide to the Multiple Streams Framework
Applying the Multiple Streams Framework (MSF) to a global range of case studies, this pioneering Modern Guide addresses how policymakers decide what issues to attend to and which choices to make or implement. In doing so it outlines that, far from being the exception, ambiguity and timing are integral parts of every comparative explanation of the policy process.
Handbook of Public Policy Agenda Setting

It builds upon the previous editionÕs comprehensive overview of the perspectives and institutions involved in setting the governmentÕs agenda.
Resilienz im Katastrophenfall
In gesellschaftlichen Krisensituationen – wie etwa einem länger andauernden Stromausfall – wird selten an Menschen gedacht, die besondere Formen der Hilfe benötigen. Dies trifft zum Beispiel auf jene zu, die zu Hause von ihren Familien oder von Pflegediensten versorgt werden. Am Beispiel dieser Problemstellung erläutern die Beiträge des Bandes exemplarisch, welche Hilfeleistungen Pflegebedürftige und ihre Angehörigen benötigen und wie dies durch den Katastrophenschutz berücksichtigt werden kann. Eine theoretische Diskussion des Resilienzkonzepts sowie die Auseinandersetzung mit der kontextuellen Wissensgenerierung im Rahmen einer Modellregion bilden die Grundlage für die transdisziplinär angelegte Forschung.
Finding Opportunities in Crisis
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2013. This is a multidisciplinary book on crises of all kinds from different parts of the world. Interesting? Not unless crises can be made to serve as opportunities for the future. Fifteen chapters present accounts of empirical research into personal and group crises where people have not just survived their losses and grief but have in most cases gone on to meaningful future growth. Tragedy from natural calamity, war, accident; crisis in the family and at work; despair from physical and spiritual displacement; helplessness from political and economic disenfranchisement – from Australia and America to Asia and Europe. These subjects receive expert multidisciplinary scrutiny with one common goal in mind. To account for the ways in which recovery and regrowth can take place. But this is not a book about the phoenix’s fable. It is empirical, evaluative, and pragmatic. It is about turning crises into opportunities.
Policy Styles and Trust in the Age of Pandemics
This book explores the reasons behind the variation in national responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. In doing so, it furthers the policy studies scholarship through an examination of the effects of policy styles on national responses to the pandemic. Despite governments being faced with the same threat, significant variation in national responses, frequently of contradictory nature, has been observed. Implications about responses inform a broader class of crises beyond this specific context. The authors argue that trust in government interacts with policy styles resulting in different responses and that the acute turbulence, uncertainty, and urgency of crises complicate the ability of policym...
