Governance, Democracy and Ethics in Crisis-Decision-Making: The Pandemic and Bey

The Nile on eBay   Governance, Democracy and Ethics in Crisis-Decision-Making by Caroline Redhead, Professor Melanie Smallman

This volume brings together findings from rapid-response COVID-19 research that are linked by a focus on governance decisions, particularly the 'how' and the 'why' of decision-making during the pandemic. Contributors reflect on how the pandemic seems impossible to disentangle from issues of trust and accountability in power and authority.

FORMATHardcover CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

This book is a powerful addition to a developing literature informed by arts and humanities research carried out during the COVID-19 pandemic. Investigating the impacts of crisis governance and decision-making on people and populations, the book brings together microbial organisms and humans, children and data, decision-making and infection prevention, publics and process, global vaccine distribution and citizens' juries. Through its eight chapters, the book stimulates broadly-drawn discussions about exceptional executive powers in an emergency, the role of trust, and the importance of the principles of good governance such as selflessness, ethics, integrity, accountability and honesty in leadership. The lessons drawn out in this book will support future decision-makers in both ordinary times and extra-ordinary emergencies.An electronic edition of this book is freely available under a Creative Commons (CC BY) licence.
