论文简介    Different from existing studies focusing on formal institutional factors, this study applies a configurational approach to exploring how cultural, institutional, and crisis-specific factors interplay to shape policymaking under extremely uncertain and risky circumstances. A fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis of the COVID-19 first-response policies adopted by 31 countries reveals three pathways consistently leading to a more stringent first response, whereas the other two pathways consistently contributed to a less stringent one. The study advances comparative policy analysis by illuminating multiple configurations of cultural, institutional, and pandemic-specific factors that have shaped policymaking during the COIVD-19 pandemic.
