This series addresses viral politics with an initial focus on the ‘COVID phenomenon’: more than a viral infection, COVID-19 has impacted how scientists find solutions, what governments do, and how societies react. With this multi-dimensional impact in mind, the series captures the interdisciplinary investigation that seeks to understand this phenomenon and address future challenges when other pandemics or health emergencies arise.

Its genesis is in the series’ first book that examines the science and politics of COVID-19, offering insights on drug and vaccine development and the importance of public policy in the absence of quick scientific solutions. Subsequent books will continue with this approach by bringing social and natural science investigation together.

With an editorial advisory board of leading scholars across various fields, the series of short and accessible books is aimed to be the one-stop shop for readers from different disciplines, including academics, policymakers, and the general public. The insights into this phenomenon will impact and shape many aspects of our lives for years to come.

Pandemic policies have been the focus of fierce lobbying competition by different social and economic interests. In Viral Lobbying a team of expert authors from across the social and natural sciences analyse patterns in and implications of this ‘viral lobbying’. Based on elite surveys and focus group interviews with selected groups, the book provides new evidence on the lobbying strategies used during the COVID 19 pandemic, as well as the resulting access to and lobbying influence on public policy. The empirical analyses reach across eight European countries (Austria, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, United Kingdom), as well as the EU-level. In particular, the book draws on responses from approximately 1,600 interest organisations in two waves of a cross-country survey (in 2020 and 2021, respectively). This quantitative data is supplemented by qualitative evidence from a series of 12 focus groups with organised interests in Ireland, Denmark and the Netherlands conducted in spring 2021.

Corona, the Lockdown, and the Media

A Quantitative Frame Analysis of Media Coverage and Restrictive Policy Responses

Patrick Bernhagen, David Kybelka

Band 2 in dieser Reihe

Mehr Zitieren

Corona, the Lockdown, and the Media investigates media influence on policies to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Bernhagen and Kybelka propose that news reporting on the pandemic pitches human impact against economic consequences of the virus and of restrictive policy measures designed to contain it. They argue that the use of these frames influences governments’ decisions to enact or lift lockdown measures. Using time series data from England, France, and Germany, the authors show that news reporting on COVID-19 was indeed characterized by these media frames. However, there is no evidence of media influence on government policy. Instead, the authors find that anti-pandemic policy decisions were responsive to public opinion in these countries.

Viruses, Vaccines, and Antivirals: Why Politics Matters

Raj Chari, Isabel Rozas

Band 1 in dieser Reihe

Mehr Zitieren

This short book brings together novel cross-interdisciplinary investigation from both natural and social science, representing a true hybrid across disciplines examining the ‘politics’ and ‘science’ of COVID-19. Viruses, Vaccines, and Antivirals: Why Politics Matters considers the dynamics surrounding viruses, proposed vaccines, and antiviral therapies, contextualizing what governments have done during the COVID-19 crisis.

The four basic phases of a pandemic are considered with a strong focus on COVID-19, namely the anticipating and early virus detection, containment strategies, policies to control and mitigate the spread of the virus and policies aimed at opening up society. Viruses, Vaccines, and Antivirals: Why Politics Matters examines policy developments throughout these phases in key nations worldwide and puts forward a blueprint for countries developing public policies to deal with a pandemic.
