Beschreibung

In different societies, different models of crisis management are used to deal with the crisis, which is completely influenced by the political system that governs these societies. With the widespread prevalence of the Corona virus, different views have been propounded about the capabilities of different political systems, which are still the subject of debates. The fundamental question that has been raised and examined in this context is how the crisis management in authoritarian socialist countries can be evaluated in comparison with liberal countries? The present research is a descriptive-analytical and the mentioned question has been investigated using the library method. The results of the study indicate that it is not simply possible to distinguish between crisis management of democratic states and authoritarian regimes. Liberal democracies, however, mainly try to use a community-based approach to deal with crises. These systems try to manage crises while paying attention to economic well-being and respecting citizens' rights, but the widespread outbreak of Corona has shown that in many cases liberal democracies have not acted fairly and the working classes are still forced to work in order to turn the wheel of their countries' economy. Of course, the socialist approach of these governments in supporting different classes of people is worth considering. In general, liberal democracies have not been as successful as they should have been in dealing with the Corona virus crisis. On the other hand, although authoritarian socialist regimes such as China were able to control the crisis of the Corona outbreak, they still have been criticized for lack of respect for individual rights, absence of strong protectionist policies, and police actions. However, European liberal democracies, including Italy, France and Spain, have chosen the difficult solution of global quarantine like the world's largest authoritarian powers, such as China, that puts it to action.

Abstract

In different societies, different models of crisis management are used to deal with the crisis, which is completely influenced by the political system that governs these societies. With the widespread prevalence of the corona virus, different views have been propounded about the capabilities of different political systems, which are still the subject of debates. The fundamental question that has been raised and examined in this context is how the crisis management in authoritarian socialist countries can be evaluated in comparison with liberal liberal countries? The present research is a descriptive-analytical and the mentioned question has been investigated using the library method. The results of the study indicate that it is not simply possible to distinguish between crisis management of democratic states and authoritarian regimes. Liberal democracies, however, mainly try to use a community-based approach to deal with crises. These systems try to manage crises while paying attention to economic well-being and respecting citizens’ rights, but the widespread outbreak of the corona has shown that in many cases liberal democracies have not acted fairly and the working classes are still forced work in order to turn the wheel of their countries economy. Of course, the socialist approach of these governments in supporting different classes of people is worth considering. In general, liberal democracies have not been as successful as they should have been in dealing with the Corona virus crisis. On the other hand, although authoritarian socialist regimes such as China were able to control the crisis of the Corona outbreak, but they have been criticized for lack of respect for individual rights, absence of strong protectionist policies, and Police actions. However, European liberal democracies, including Italy, France, and Spain, have chosen the difficult solution of global quarantine as the world’s largest authoritarian powers, like China, have puts it to action.

1. Statement of the Problem

As the world’s population grows and resources dwindle, societies become increasingly vulnerable to disasters. The number of people affected by disasters from 1999-2007 has risen from 60 million in 1999 to 380 million in 2007. (World Heath organization, 2008) According to the Global Disaster Report in 2003, between 1993 till 2002, 5,402 major natural and man-made disasters were recorded all over the world, affecting 2,496,800 people and causing $ 663,749 million pecuniary loss. (Walters WC,2004)

For this reason, different societies are constantly trying to invent or they are looking for and solutions to be able to control or minimize the damage caused by unforeseen events, and in fact manage disasters and crises. Crisis management plays a crucial role in reducing the pecuniary loss and human damage of crises. This has become the centre of attention more than ever, following the spread of the coronavirus. The spread and global epidemic of the corona virus created an opportunity for crisis management of different countries with different political systems to be discussed. Because a more appropriate response has been associated with a reduction in injuries and a reduction in the number of sufferers and victims of the virus. The main question raised in this study is that how the crisis management in authoritarian socialist countries can be evaluated in comparison with liberal liberal countries? In order to study and answer the question, first the concept of crisis and crisis management is explained and then the authoritarian socialist countries and liberal democracies are examined and then, the reaction of these countries to crises and with emphasis on the coronavirus crisis is reviewed and finally the conclusion is expressed.
