This book studies the different models adopted by contemporary states in Central Europe in fighting the SARS-CoV-2 virus. With thorough analysis of different results and impacts of governmental policies, the authors examine the direction of the global economy after the pandemic ends. The volume: Analyzes the risks and effectiveness of the policy strategies taken by political regimes within states of central Europe; Probes into the changes in the functioning of post-pandemic society, especially the limitations of human rights due to state coercion and corruption risks; Understands issues related to the law-making process, healthcare policy, digitisation of state institutions and key processes carried out by entities of the system of public authority, and the establishment of principles and mechanisms of cooperation between the state and the business environment; Distinguishes the approaches of central and local administrations and of public authorities and citizens to the pandemic phenomenon; Assesses the actions taken by NATO and the national armed forces in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, with particular emphasis on the situation in the Visegrad Group countries. A timely study, this will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of political theory, sociology, public health and social care, governance, public policy, security studies and public administration.
