ENDURE: Inequalities, Community Resilience and New Governance Modalities in a Post-Pandemic World

这项研究结合了历史学、传播学、社会和行为科学的方法，研究限制性的COVID-19政策如何影响经济、政治和社会不平等，以及人们如何应对这些政策。 具体而言，该研究项目将研究（i）国家主导的流行病应对措施如何产生不平等;（ii）这些流行病应对措施如何导致“民粹主义”运动的兴起，以及（iii）不平等如何导致应对流行病政策的阻力。对这一流行病采取的普遍复员办法对不同群体产生了不同的影响，并可能加深现有的社会不平等。本研究项目将采用比较方法，在巴西、德国、哥伦比亚、英国、加拿大、芬兰、美国、克罗地亚、波兰、乌克兰、委内瑞拉和土耳其进行研究，以研究不同程度的限制如何影响不平等，以及不同群体如何应对各种流行病政策。这些国家提供了一套广泛的政策对策，以便更好地了解各国实行的差别限制性政策如何影响政策遵守情况和不平等。 这一研究项目的结果将为制定所有人都能接受的流行病和其他紧急政策提供投入，从而使这些政策行之有效。 研究结果还可能有助于美国成为流行病应对政策的全球领导者。 这项研究调查了限制性的国家领导的Covid-19大流行应对措施-复员和封锁-如何影响欧洲，北美和南美不平等的驱动因素。该项目对政府和国际组织的能力对不平等和民主治理的影响进行了跨大西洋比较分析。 它考察了大流行如何影响政治和媒体中的民粹主义，反体制叙事，以了解紧急情况如何影响机构的信任和合法性。这部分的研究将基于对社交媒体的定量和定性分析。 该项目还将研究边缘化人群在大流行期间如何生存和抵制限制性政策，以及如何影响政策讨论。 该项目的这一部分将采用几种社会和行为科学方法。该项目将组织研讨会、数字画廊、网络研讨会、学术会议和其他公共活动，以影响政策辩论。 这项研究的结果可以为大多数人可以接受的有效的流行病和其他紧急政策提供投入。 该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This research combines methodologies from history, communications, and social and behavioral sciences to study how restrictive COVID-19 policies affected economic, political, and social inequalities, and how people responded to these policies. Specifically the research project will study (i) how state-led pandemic responses generated inequalities; (ii) how these pandemic responses led to the rise of “populist” movements, and (iii) how inequality led to resistance to policies to deal with the pandemic. The general demobilizing approach to the pandemic had differential impacts on different groups and likely deepened existing social inequalities. This research project will uses a comparative approach to conduct research in Brazil, Germany, Colombia, United Kingdom, Canada, Finland, United States, Croatia, Poland, Ukraine, Venezuela, and Turkey to study how different degrees of restrictions affected inequality and how different groups responded to various pandemic policies. These countries provide a broad set of policy responses to provide a better understanding of how difference restrictive policies imposed by countries affected policy compliance as well as inequality. The results of this research project will provide inputs into developing pandemic and other emergency policies that will be acceptable to all and thus make them effective. The results could also help establish the US a global leader in pandemic response policies. This research investigates how restrictive state-led Covid-19 pandemic response---demobilization and lock-downs---impacted the drivers of inequality in Europe, North America, and South America. The project employs a transatlantic comparative analysis of the consequences of capacity of governments and international organizations on inequality and democratic governance. It examines how the pandemic impacted populist, anti-establishment narratives in politics and the media to understand how emergencies impact trust and legitimacy of institutions. This part of the study will be based on both quantitative and qualitative analysis of social media. The project will also study how marginalized people survived and resisted restrictive policies during the pandemic as well as influence policy discussions. This part of the project will employ several social and behavioral science methods. The project will organize seminars, digital galleries, webinars, academic conferences, and other public events in order to influence policy debates. The results of this research could provide inputs into efficient pandemic and other emergency policies that will be acceptable to the majority of people. The results could also help establish the US a global leader in pandemic response policies.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
