In doing so, it furthers the policy studies scholarship through an examination of the effects of policy styles on national responses to the pandemic. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDespite 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 policymakers to make sense of the problem. Finally, the book posits that unless there is high trust between society and the state, a decentralized response will likely be disastrous and concludes that while national responses to crises aim to save lives, they also serve to project political power and protect the status quo.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis text will be of key interest to scholars and students of public policy, public administration, political science, sociology, public health, and crisis management\/disaster management studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nikolaos Zahariadis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 036768392X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367683924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.58d","brand":"Nikolaos Zahariadis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072278294783,"sku":"9780367683924","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a0407bb1-fcbf-4b22-b9d1-1c1ae19a89dc.jpg?v=1685441002","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/policy-styles-and-trust-in-nikolaos-zahariadis-9780367683924","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
