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?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLeila Simona Talani\u003c\/b\u003e has been Professor of International Political Economy in the department of European and International Studies at King’s College London since 2014. She is the author, among other titles, of: \u003ci\u003eThe International Political Economy of Migration in the Globalisation era\u003c\/i\u003e, (London: Palgrave 2021), The political Economy of Italy in the Euro (Palgrave 2017), \u003ci\u003eThe Handbook of the International Political Economy of Migration\u003c\/i\u003e (Edward Elgar, 2014-2017); \u003ci\u003eThe Arab Spring in the Global Political Economy\u003c\/i\u003e(Palgrave, 2014), \u003ci\u003eDirty Cities: towards a political economy of shadow dynamics in global cities\u003c\/i\u003e (Palgrave, 2013), \u003ci\u003eEuropean Political Economy\u003c\/i\u003e(Ashgate: 2013), Globalization, \u003ci\u003eMigration and the future of Europe \u003c\/i\u003e(Routledge 2011), From Egypt to Europe (I.B.Tauris, 2010).\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAlan Cafruny \u003c\/b\u003e(Ph.D.) Cornell (1983) is Henry Platt Bristol Professor of International Affairs at Hamilton College.
