本文讨论国家和地方应对COVID-19大流行的策略。分析揭示了社会背景、体制安排、知识文化和技术部署如何体现在国家对这一流行病的反应中。讨论介绍了东亚和东南亚以及欧洲和亚太地区的国家案例。总的印象是，亚洲的案例反映了主动性和勤奋，而西方的反应是被动的，而且往往稍有延迟。这两个国家组都取得了成功，而绝大多数全球基准都是亚洲的。由于COVID-19危机的管理本质上是一个多层次的治理问题，有关国家战略的讨论伴随着对城市角色的一瞥。与COVID-19相关的城市挑战围绕着对城市安全的日益关注、城市空间的创造性方法和使用、数字城市平台的兴起以及对公民参与的更深入了解。
This article discusses national and local strategies for confronting COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis sheds light on how societal context, institutional arrangements, knowledge culture, and technology deployment manifest in national responses to the pandemic. Discussion describes country cases from East and South East Asia, on the one hand, and from Europe and Asia-Pacific, on the other. The overall impression is that Asian cases reflect proactivity and diligence, while Western responses are reactive and more often than not slightly delayed. Both country groups include successes, while the overwhelming majority of global benchmarks are Asian. As the management of COVID-19 crisis is essentially a multi-level governance issue, discussion about national strategies is supplemented with a glance at the role of cities. The COVID-19-related urban challenges revolve around increased interest in urban safety, creative approaches to and the uses of urban space, the rise of digital urban platforms, and deeper insights on citizen engagement.
