HomeThe political economy of Covid-19 responses in East Central Europe
Publication metadata
This paper will start by mapping the vulnerabilities in three groups of countries in the region: the Baltic States Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania; the Visegrád countries Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, to which we add Slovenia; and the Balkan group of Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia. With this, we follow the varieties of East European capitalism literature (Bohle and Greskovits 2012). The expectation is that each variety of capitalism also exhibits specific strengths and weaknesses when facing the COVID-19 crisis. The next section details the vulnerability profiles. The third section presents our theoretical framework and expectations. Specifically, we spell out the three factors that we expect to matter for policy responses: government strategies to stay in power, state capacities and policy learning. The fourth section provides a toolbox for analysing policy responses, which will serve as a guideline for the country papers.
