Beskrivning

COVID-19, Public Management, and Survival of East European Democracies centers initially on the development of democracy in fourteen states of Eastern Europe, with an emphasis on the distinction between the seven Baltic and East Central European states in the north and the seven Balkan states in the south. Examination of key events of the political history of the two regions reveals that a participant political culture as the anchor of democracy was more developed in the north than in the south. Important measures of democracy as well as election results during the 2020-22 period of the COVID-19 outbreak demonstrate and reinforce the same distinctions between the two regions. Further, this detailed study of public administration problems such as corruption, accountability, trust, and the number of deaths from COVID-19 also disclose that such problems characterized both regions but were more pronounced in the southern states. In addition, the rise of populism and authoritarianism injected severe challenges in the midst of administrative preoccupation with the many harmful effects of the virus.

James W. Peterson and Bonnie Peterson provide an insightful and timely analysis of the state of public management in Eastern Europe through the lens of policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors artfully set the stage through an exploration of democratic practices, citizen trust in government, levels of corruption, and the rise of authoritarianism and populism. Case studies of the governmental response to the pandemic highlight key regional differences in Eastern Europe as well the importance of trust, accountability, and transparency in how these nations responded. This text makes an important contribution to our understanding of comparative politics, public policy formation, and public administration during a 100-year pandemic.
