“…9,16 However, integrating complex systems approaches takes these calls several steps further by emphasizing a paradigmatic shift that holistically embodies those properties of dynamic complexity that have been observed in studies on firearm violence.

“…to, 2022), anger due to the perception that liberties are being violated, and even open opposition, often in combination with other problems in each country (García et al, 2022;Kishi et al l., 2021). In addition, there is evidence of increased social unrest due to the inequality produced by previous pandemics (Sedik & Xu 2020).…”

The article aims to investigate whether governments tend to implement regulatory policies in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and to examine the type of citizen response to different types of policies.Given that active and collaborative citizen participation is an essential element of adequate crisis management, citizen resistance, active opposition, and demonstrations in public spaces are detrimental to the successful outcome of government policies in the face of a crisis. We employ the crisis management and institutional analyses theoretical perspectives, as well as the qualitative methods of study case and the comparative studies. We review the different types of policies implemented in different countries. Our analysis shows that there is indeed a tendency for implementing regulatory policies. It also identifies that the places where regulative policies are created and implemented without taking into account contextual aspects, it usually catalyzes citizen's discomfort. Therefore, we argue that the type of policy used is relevant to deciding what governments' responses should be and their effect on legitimacy during crises.

“…In this paper, we ask the question who is a legitimate agent of social change for Grand Challenges, and explore the implications of essential conditions of legitimacy for the practice of project management. This is an important question because, at testing times such as ours, when multiple Grand Challenges are at play concurrently and induce multiple layers of complexity and uncertainty (Popkova and Konstanitnou, 2021), social inequalities are amplified and productivity diminishes giving rise to a vicious cycle of economic despair and social unrest (Sedik et al, 2020). At a global level, rising social inequalities translate into a divided world and global instability (Shah, 2021).…”

<p> In this paper we ask who is a legitimate agent of social change for Grand Challenges. To answer this question, we build on the philosophies of Hannah Arendt, Friedrich Nietzsche, Maurice Blanchot and Emmanuel Levinas on the human condition. This is important in sensitizing the project management community to the political responsibility of the project manager at times of crises and Grand Challenges, when new social orders, such as the Grand Challenges Approach (GCA), emerge and are delivered through projects. We introduce philosophers who have spoken about the human condition a) to escape definitions of legitimacy which have arisen from the very social processes and institutions which contribute to social injustices; and, b) because we all share the human condition irrespective of origin, religion, race, gender, education and life experiences, and as such it carries significant democratic potential. The philosophers tell us that an agent of social change is s/he who acts with the Other as the end goal in mind, and that legitimate is the social agent who appears in front of the watchful eye of society and fully discloses past, present and future intentions (Arendt); who can embody meaning and make decisions based on their humanity (Nietzsche); who can echo ideals which extend thought, intelligence, decisions and actions from what is already known to the creation of new spaces of action (Blanchot); and, finally, who can stand upright and engage with fellow-world-citizens in defining what is to be known, the reality of tomorrow (Levinas). </p>
