The politics of scale in the coordinated management and emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic
Delaney, Aoife
The politics of scale in the coordinated management and emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic - sage 2020 - vol 10, issue 2, 2020 : (141–145 p.,).
This commentary examines how coordinated management and emergency response (CMER) have been mobilized within the United States and Ireland to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing upon a performative conception of scale, I argue that it is crucial to recognize the potency of the scalar politics of CMER organization to understand the differences in public health responses within and between political jurisdictions.
