Abstract
Objective. This book depicts how the Covid-19 pandemic was communicated in light of different societal contexts and systems, how rights and the autonomy of individuals have been negotiated, how scientific contents and political aims come to be translated into political action, as well as the socio-environmental structures and institutions that foster and shape policy discourse. Design. Making use of government communications, policy documents, media and statistical data, the empirical studies describe and analyse the abrupt demand for and consequences of the implementation of large-scale social control strategies worldwide. Contribution. In contrast to the literature that treats social control policies as social psychological and administrative issues, this book maps out the composite cross-cultural and historical determinants implicit within their realisation and particular expression.
