A comparative study of Sweden, China, France, and Japan American Review of Public Administration 50(6-7), Aug-Oct, 2020: p.762-769 Nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) are important public health tools to fight against COVID-19. Governments around the world have instituted a variety of NPIs to modify individuals’ behavior, giving rise to four distinct pandemic response strategies: nudge, mandate, decree, and boost. To better understand the different policy choices involved in these strategies, four countries including Sweden, China, France, and Japan were compared to identify the critical institutional and cultural determinants of national response strategy. The finding shows that various responses regarding same threat are dependent on the distinctive institutional arrangements and cultural orientation of each country, and thus, there is no One-Size-Fits-All strategy. – Reproduced COVID-19, Institutional arrangements, Cultural orientation, Response strategy 25878 American Review of Public Administration COVID 19 PANDEMIC AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 391816 IIPA IIPA 2021-07-27 50(6-7), Aug-Oct, 2020: p.762-769 AR124999 2021-07-27 AR
