Facing the COVID-19 pandemic requires an
unprecedented degree of cooperation between governments and
citizens and across all facets of society to implement
spatial distancing and other policy measures. This paper
proposes to think about handling the pandemic as a
collective action problem that can be alleviated by policies
that foster trust and social connection. Policy and
institutional recommendations are presented according to a
three-layered pandemic response generally corresponding to
short-, medium-, and long-term needs. This paper focuses on
building connection and cooperation as means to bring about
better health and socioeconomic outcomes. Many factors
outside the paper’s scope, such as health policy choices,
will greatly affect the outcomes. As such, the paper
explores the role of trust, communication, and collaboration
conditional on sound health and economic policy choices. |
