“…A newspaper article published on April 16, 2020, tracked all Salvini's statements which showed his contradictory stances ( Mari 2020). For example, on February 21, 2020, Salvini asked for stricter border controls, implying that the contagion could have arrived from Africa through boats approaching the Southern border ( Custodero 2020;Vicentini and Galanti 2021). Just a few days later, on February 27, 2020, he demanded a reopening of the Northern regions, the most affected during the first wave and administered by his party.…”

Populists and the Pandemic examines the responses of populist political actors and parties in 22 countries around the globe to the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of their attitudes, rhetoric, mobilization repertoires, and policy proposals.The responses of some populist leaders have received much public attention as they denied the severity of the public health crisis, denigrated experts and data, looked for scapegoats, encouraged protests, questioned the legitimacy of liberal institutions, spread false information, and fueled conspiracies. But how widespread are those particular reactions? How much variation is there? What explains the variation that does exist? This volume considers these questions through critical analysis of countries in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa by leading experts with deep knowledge of their respective cases. Some chapters focus on populist parties, others on charismatic populist leaders. Some countries examined are democracies, others autocracies. Some populists are left wing, others right wing. Some populists are in government, others in opposition. This variation allows for a panoramic consideration of factors that systematically influence or mediate populist responses to the pandemic. The book thus makes a unique contribution to our understanding of the intersection between two of the most pressing social and political challenges of our time.The book will be of interest to all those researching populism, extremism, and political parties and those more broadly interested in political science, public policy, sociology, communications, and economics.

“…Compared with the social conflicts caused by multicultural differences, as well as the application of empathy communication in crises, it is necessary to focus on active prevention and control of individuals, and then formulate reasonable plans. In the modernization process of human society, and with the continuous development of technology and the economy, globalization and informatization have become more and more intense, and various social risks have frequently appeared, and even suddenly appeared in front of the public (Vicentini and Galanti, 2021 ). There is no doubt that after the outbreak of COVID-19, the world is at an important moment of public management.…”

This study aims to uncover the relationship among multicultural differences, empathy, and the behaviors of risk prevention and control in the context of crisis events by using a sample of 300 individuals in 10 different multicultural countries. A theoretical logic model was applied to empirical analysis, and the results indicated that cultural differences positively influenced the behavior of empathy communication and risk prevention and control. Further analyses revealed that real-time monitoring of changes in empathy could provide better options of measures for local risk prevention and control when the same crisis event occurred in a multicultural context. With user-generated content (UGC) emerging in the web 2.0 era, this paper proposed a more profound empathy code regarding the periodicity of risk prevention and control. This paper expects to contribute to the circumvention of cognitive errors caused by cultural differences, and to further provide effective conduction for individuals' risk prevention and control behaviors.
