Summary 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 1518 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. Kennet Lynggaard is Associate Professor at the Department of Social Sciences and Business, Roskilde University, Denmark. Mads Dagnis Jensen is Associate Professor at the Department of International Economics, Government, and Business at Copenhagen Business School, Denmark. Michael Kluth is Associate Professor at the Department of Social Sciences and Business, Roskilde University, Denmark.
