About this ebook

The book "Democracy and Public Policy in the Post-COVID-19 World: Choices and Outcomes" (1st Edition) edited by Rumki Basu evaluates how the global health crisis exposed structural vulnerabilities and transformed the relationship between governments and citizens. [1, 2]

According to publishers and reviews on Routledge and Apple Books, the volume balances theoretical frameworks with concrete case studies to cover several key topics:

🏛️ 1. Theoretical Models and Democratic Policy Making

Relevance of Frameworks: Critically examines existing models, approaches, and academic theories used in the public policy-making process to see how well they withstand a global crisis. [1, 2]
State-Society Dynamics: Explores how democratic states must renegotiate relationships between the state, society, and individual citizens in a post-globalized, post-pandemic landscape. [1]
Democratic Impact: Studies how future policy formulation and decision-making will adapt within India and other global democracies. [1, 2]

🌾 2. Structural Frailties & Sectoral Reforms

The book details the exposed "old" inadequacies and systemic failures brought to light by the pandemic, focusing on:

Capacities: Inefficiencies in agricultural production and industrial capacities.
Infrastructure: Deep gaps in public health systems and transport networks. [1]

🇮🇳 3. Specific Sectoral Focus (India Context)

A major part of the book analyzes specific sector-based choices and policy processes inside India, focusing closely on:

Education & Health: Reforms required to secure human capital and build resilient public healthcare systems.
E-Governance: The acceleration of digital public infrastructure, digital governance tools, and virtual citizen service delivery.
Gender & Work: How the crisis shifted workspace dynamics and how it impacted women differently, keeping a window open for critical feminist public policy perspectives. [1, 2, 3]

📈 4. Policy Recommendations

Future Frameworks: Rather than just diagnosing past failures, the text presents a roadmap and structured future policy recommendations to better handle economic, social, and administrative disruptions. [1, 2]
