      abstract = {This book seeks to identify the reasons why some countries  were more efficient and effective than others in responding  to the COVID 19 pandemic, and why the global community  failed to coalesce. What are the political determinants of  the different state responses to the pandemic? Why was  scientific advice rejected or ignored in many countries?  What has been the role, respectively, of neoliberalism,  populism, and authoritarianism in the making of Covid-19  policy? What role have each of these factors played in the  uneven and clearly inadequate global response to the  pandemic? In an effort to understand why some states failed  to handle the pandemic properly, some of the literature  suggests that populism is at the root of the current  failure of international co-operation. The global financial  crisis of 2008-10 triggered significant cooperation within  the G-20, led by the combined efforts of the United States  and China. These forms of cooperation have clearly  disappeared in the context of the pandemic, not only with  respect to economic policy but also in public health and  management. The authors of this volume link the different  state responses to the pandemic-- from its inception to the  start of the vaccination campaign, and to the political  regimes prevailing in each. In particular, the present  volume focuses on a distinction between the responses of  neo-liberal regimes, populist regimes and authoritarian  ones. Leila Simona Talani has been Professor of  International Political Economy in the Department of  European and International Studies at Kings College London  since 2014. She is the current editor of the Palgrave  series: The Politics of Citizenship and Migration. Alan  Cafruny (Ph.D.) Cornell (1983) is Henry Platt Bristol  Professor of International Affairs at Hamilton College. He  is a former series editor (with Herman Schwartz) of the  series: Advances in International Political Economy,  sponsored by the International Political Economy Section of  the International Studies Association.},
