“…It is suggested that the private sector and civil society organizations (CSOs) begin to play an important role in building public awareness. They help in overcoming political divisions that might constrain collective responses to major policy challenges (Agranoff, 2011; Davenport and Prusak, 2000; Puppim de Oliveira et al , 2021). The current COVID-19 pandemic is an example of acute external cause of organizational crisis.…”

Purpose This paper aims to examine Canadian government measures to support country’s economic recovery and sustainable development. The goal is to examine whether all orders of government are working well to deliver the required help to Canadians. Design/methodology/approach The theoretical foundations for this article are drawn from liberal and institutionalist approaches to comparative politics. Specifically, the proposed study draws on political tensions that occur because of actions of self-centered regional (provincial) governments who legitimize individual policies based on their self-centered economic and political objectives. Findings Nowadays, we can observe the primary role of the state in supporting and regulating the health governance systems, the economy and social life. Many informal groups have unstructured approach, which does not require them to follow existing strategies. The challenges caused by COVID-19 have led to the resurgence of collective, state-based approaches to the recovery. The key findings illuminate the importance of crisis communication activities which should be implemented properly. This implies that all disclosures must be timely and truthful. Practical implications The study helps to better understand the events that disrupt parts of the Canadian economy during pandemic. It reviews the essential functions that are critical for reliable operation of infrastructure services to ensure safety and well-being of the population. During the COVID-19, federal–provincial–territorial collaboration runs into resistance because of competing interests, resource constraints, legacies from past conflicts and lack of coordination. In contrast to managers, who often focus on tangible short-term results, today’s leadership more often seeks intangible long-term results. This means that the central–local government relations tend to be more informal. Originality/value In the face of external shock, such as COVID-19, it did not take much time for Canadian provincial governments to realize that they cannot cope with a wide range of challenges alone. In these circumstances, the narratives of how governments work together during the challenging time to impact their desired outcomes are of crucial importance.

“…Arguably, designers were more concerned with democratic rights and arrangements among institutions to protect these compared to matters of performance and issues involving coordination and responsibilities in intergovernmental relations. Yet, public policies and state responses to crises and other issues have become increasingly dependent on how well different levels of government work together (Puppim de Oliveira et al 2021; Agranoff 2011). Key decision‐making authorities and processes for solving policy problems that require a high level of coordination and expediency are seldom sufficiently established in either law or practice; instead, intergovernmental relations have often been caught up in issues such as fiscal governance and, in recent years, recentralization and political polarization (Conlan 2017; de Mello and Jalles 2020).…”

The COVID‐19 pandemic has exposed fundamental flaws in the design of public administration in late democracies. While much writing to date focuses on the initial and vital responses to COVID‐19, the magnitude of this event also furthers insights into the risks of incomplete institutional designs and practices, such as the case of Brazil, an example of the administrative flaws in late democracies. This article is not a critique of responses to COVID‐19 per se, but an examination of these considering democratization processes that include state‐building and the need for another push in administrative and political reforms. Shortcomings in state‐building, which existed before COVID‐19, inflict heavy costs on society and, if left unaddressed, add to the costs of future disasters and unraveling of support for state and democratic institutions.

“…Especially since the announcement of the transformational devolution plan in 2000 for the precision of the federal and provincial government's rules of responsibilities (Ahmad & Akif, 2007 ). It further empirically analyzed that this plan or reform significantly impacted the institutional quality for public services outcomes, resulting from coordination among federal and provincial governments (Agranoff, 2011 ; Aslam & Yilmaz, 2011 ). It further explored that devolution or delegation of political power will help construct a strong constitution of Pakistan and develop a robust regional bonding among provinces (Myerson, 2014 ).…”

COVID‐19 is wreaking havoc all around the globe, and Pakistan bears no exception. This study explores Pakistan's response toward controlling COVID‐19 Pandemic from the day the 1st case was reported, February 26, 2020, in Pakistan until August 31, 2020. It explores the administrative conflicts among federal and provincial governments and political behaviors of political parties toward the COVID‐19 pandemic by referring Government Response Index. By applying the ARDL model approach, results show that since the administrative harmony had been implemented in Pakistan in July 2020, its positive impact on combating the COVID‐19 situation in Pakistan and substantial improvement in recovered cases and a downward trend new confirmed and fatal cases has observed in Pakistan. The findings demonstrate that administrative efforts scattered due to internal conflicts from February to mid‐July 2020 have ended, and collective aggressive policy enforcement has been mitigating the adverse impact of COVID‐19 in Pakistan since July to date. However, sustainable measures and prudent policy implications are needed to combat the ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic and future calamities.
