“…Our approach distinguishes itself from general crisis management studies by focusing on administrative characteristics, organizational features and actor constellations, in combination with country-specific administrative cultures, which matter for governing turbulence and using the situation for strategic institutional decisions. Taking an institutionalist and organization theory-based perspective (see Christensen et al, 2007Christensen et al, , 2019, we concentrate on the structural features, administrative traditions and actor strategies that are key to understanding the process and performance of crisis governance (Andrew, 2013). Although there has been more research after 9/11 on governance structures, organizational aspects and bureaucratic procedures of coping with major crises (see Boin et al, 2015;Comfort et al, 2012; National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, 2004;Waugh, 2006), public administration research on crisis management remains rather limited (Boin and Lodge, 2016;Christensen et al, 2019: 13;Kalbassi, 2016).…”

This article provides a conceptual framework for the analysis of COVID-19 crisis governance in the first half of 2020 from a cross-country comparative perspective. It focuses on the issue of opportunity management, that is, how the crisis was used by relevant actors of distinctly different administrative cultures as a window of opportunity. We started from an overall interest in the factors that have influenced the national politics of crisis management to answer the question of whether and how political and administrative actors in various countries have used the crisis as an opportunity to facilitate, accelerate or prevent changes in institutional settings. The objective is to study the institutional settings and governance structures, (alleged) solutions and remedies, and constellations of actors and preferences that have influenced the mode of crisis and opportunity management. Finally, the article summarizes some major comparative findings drawn from the country studies of this Special Issue, focusing on similarities and differences in crisis responses and patterns of opportunity management. Points for practitioners With crises emerging in ever shorter sequences of time, governing turbulence and using crises for strategic institutional decisions has become an increasingly important issue for policymakers. Aiming at effective and proportionate responses, policymakers must take the institutional conditions, administrative traditions and relevant actor constellations of crisis management into account, which are key to learn from other countries’ experiences. Comparing these experiences and analyzing the politics of crisis governance from a cross-country perspective may help policymakers to identify strengths and weaknesses of their own national/regional approaches and to seize crisis-related windows of opportunity for institutional reforms at the national and international levels.

“…This requires institutional synergy and coordination. This situation is multidimensional, and therefore in handling Covid 19 requires the involvement and synergy of all elements of governance [8]. Of course, this is not easy, especially for a plural and decentralized Indonesian government system.…”

The Covid 19 pandemic is increasingly difficult to control, so the Indonesian government at all levels must fight hard to stop its spread. Therefore, integrated efforts need to be made to deal with this pandemic that include the implementation of policy for handling Covid 19 by the government, the role of social institutions, and community participation. The purpose of this research is to analyse the Covid 19 handling strategy in the perspectives of policy implementation, community institutions and community participation in Cileunyi Sub-district, Bandung District. This research employs a qualitative method, and the data were collected through literature and document reviews, interviews with relevant informants, and observations. The analysis results showed that the implementation of the Covid 19 handling policy in Cileunyi sub-district was carried out in accordance with the Decree of the Governor of West Java No. 443 / Kep.189-Hukham/2020. Meanwhile, the role of social institutions from the preparation to the implementation stage is very decisive in overcoming Covid 19. The role of social institutions in handling Covid 19 is very crucial. However, the community did not fully participate in implementing 3M (washing hands, wearing masks, and maintaining physical distance) to cut the chain of Covid 19 spread. Furthermore, their social participation in handling Covid is carried out by controlling and monitoring the movement of people in their neighbourhood residents, providing daily need assistance for sufferers, conducting fundraising activities, providing sanitizers in public facilities, spraying disinfectants, conducting selfexamination and isolation for sufferers, and self-quarantine for those who had interacted with sufferers. Based on the research finding, the local government, the community organizations and the community in Cileunyi Sub-district need to strengthen their collaboration in handling the Covid 19.
