The interdisciplinary research on which this book is based examined how four European governments behaved in these circumstances. During the months of the crisis, the team of experts coordinated by the editors of this volume took a close look at the decision-making processes in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia – the so-called Visegrad Four.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe inquiries focused on experiences from the academic, health, economic and social fields. The methods of comparison included surveys, interviews, discourse analysis, for which the adaptive leadership theory provided the conceptual framework. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe conclusions are both academic and practical. Aside the description of the pandemic responses, the research had a formative dimension: how can an adaptive leadership approach better help societies manage the health and societal impacts of similar challenges? The spectrum of emerging anti-democratic tendencies in the region provided the specific context of the exercise. The four states face varying degrees of democratic backsliding as well as illiberal influences that have affected their response to the pandemic, which gives this research on the Visegrad Four a worldwide resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Tables\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Figures\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Appendices\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Boxes\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLeadership Framework\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Outline\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCHAPTER 1 – The Czech Republic: The “Best in Covid”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Czech Case\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSurvey: Czech Covid Leadership Response Questionnaire\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDiscussion and Conclusion\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix CZ 1: Czech Covid Leadership Response Questionnaire\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix CZ 2: Covid Pandemic Leadership Open-ended comments\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCHAPTER 2 – Slovakia: In the Shadow of Sputnik\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Slovak Case\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOpinion Polls: Analysis of Slovak Public Opinion During Covid-19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix SK 1 - Overview of selected events\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCHAPTER 3 – Poland: A Two Front Battle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSources of Data and Background\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Polish Case\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInterview: The Attitude of Entrepreneurs in Poland During the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic and After the Adoption of the Vaccine\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDiscussion and Conclusion\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix PL 1.
