Clive Spash: Authoritarian regimes use the Coronavirus to further their political power and oppression: различия между версиями

'''CS''': Panic reactions have been stimulated by poor governance and distrust in society. Panic does not help anyone but in societies where individualism has been promoted to the highest of values the immediate reaction is for individuals to compete for resources rather than cooperate. Generalising about population reaction is impossible because there are many different contexts in different countries from war zones, countries under sanctions, debt ridden societies, precarious employment, and political systems from totalitarian/authoritarian through to democratic/communitarian.

Generalising about population reaction is impossible because there are many different contexts in different countries from war zones, countries under sanctions, debt ridden societies, precarious employment, and political systems from totalitarian/authoritarian through to democratic/communitarian. Where regulations have been implemented with explanation and are bound by democratic limits and there is trust in government institutions the populations have generally remained calm after initial panic buying and obeyed lock-down rules.
