![]() Darren Lilleker is a Professor of Political Communication in the Faculty of Media and Communication at Bournemouth University, UK. This book will be of great interest to students and researchers of politics, communication and public relations, specifically on courses and modules relating to current affairs, crisis communication and strategic communication, as well as practitioners working in the field of health crisis communication. Cumulatively, the authors develop a global analysis of the responses and how these are shaped by their specific contexts and by the f low of information, while offering lessons for future political crisis communication. The book also examines how communication circulated within the mass and social media environments and what impact differences in spokespersons, messages and the broader context have on the success of implementing measures likely to reduce the spread of the virus. In doing so the book develops a framework to assess the extent to which state communication followed the key indicators of effective communication encapsulated in the principles of: being first being right being credible expressing empathy promoting action and showing respect. The chapters analyse the communication drawing on theoretical perspectives drawn from the fields of crisis communication, political communication and political psychology. The book encompasses the various governments’ communication of the crisis, the role played by opposition and the vibrancy of the information environment within each nation. This edited collection compares and analyses the most prominent political communicative responses to the outbreak and global spread of the COVID-19 strain of coronavirus within 27 nations across five continents and two supranational organisations: the European Union (EU) and the World Health Organisation (WHO). ![]() ![]() Introduction: Political communication, governance and rhetoric in times of crisisĬhapter 1 World Health Organisation: The challenges of providing global leadershipĬhapter 2 China: Diversion, ingratiation and victimisationĬhapter 3 Japan: New directions for digital JapanĬhapter 4 South Korea: No shutdown, no lockdownĬhapter 5 The United States: Politics versus science?Ĭhapter 6 The EU: The story of a tragic hero and the 27 dwarfsĬhapter 7 France: An unpopular government facing an unprecedented crisisĬhapter 8 Australia: A triumph of sortsĬhapter 9 Germany: Between a patchwork and best-practiceĬhapter 10 India: A spectacle of mismanagementĬhapter 11 Italy: The frontrunner of the Western countries in an unexpected crisisĬhapter 12 Spain: Managing the uncertain while facing economic collapseĬhapter 13 Sweden: Lone hero or stubborn outlier?Ĭhapter 14 The UK: From consensus to confusionĬhapter 15 Egypt: Emotive speech masks a complicated realityĬhapter 17 Austria: A ski resort as the virus slingshot of EuropeĬhapter 18 Iran: Disciplinary strategies and governmental campaigningĬhapter 19 Brazil: More than just a little fluĬhapter 20 Norway: From strict measures to pragmatic flexibilityĬhapter 21 Iceland: No lockdown and experts at the forefrontĬhapter 22 Ireland: Solid swansong from caretaker governmentĬhapter 23 The Czech Republic: Self-proclaimed role modelsĬhapter 24 Hungary: Illiberal crisis managementĬhapter 25 Poland: Protecting the nation while struggling to maintain powerĬhapter 26 Ghana: Political expediency or competent leadership?Ĭhapter 27 South Africa: A united front?
