dc.description.abstract | Norway has performed well in handling the COVID-19 pandemic, keeping both infections and deaths lower than in most other countries at the same time as it avoided the most intrusive regulatory measures. The government’s management of the COVID-19 pandemic played out in a context of low politicization illustrated by absent of mass polarization, a cooperative society and a cooperative political elite. The policy measures were informed by a suppression strategy based on the precautionary principle of giving first priority to life and health issues, and adaptive collaborative and pragmatic approach as the pandemic developed. Adding to this, a lot of resources, generous economic compensation packages, a big welfare state, a professional bureaucracy and hospital system, a trustworthy crisis communication with the public and a high level of citizens’ trust in government all contributed to the well-performing Norwegian crisis management. This illustrates that both governance capacity and governance legitimacy as well as leadership matter for a well-performing crisis management. | en_US |
