Abstract

The paper analyses the latest developments of the impact of scientific and technical expertise in public policy-making on how to deal with the effects of
the pandemic. The authors explore the reasons why the same public policies
give quite different results in dealing with the dynamics of the pandemic in
different countries and regions. Following the William N. Dunn’s model of
public policy analysis, the global response to the pandemic shows that there is an urgent need for new policy decisions and reconsideration of the effects of
non-decisions. We also explore how the policy responses for change and adaptation to the pandemic have been formulated and delivered to the public and how the narratives and emotions can influence public behaviour in times of crisis. We conclude by stressing the fact that public policies are not static and should be reformulated on the basis of changing circumstances, needs and
experience created by crisis.
