“…The type of decentralized decision-making and organization of health systems common to most federalist states - in regular times - has the advantage of being very responsive to local population needs ( 45 ). However, during a public health crisis it requires a high degree of collegiality, which can make the decision-making process quite lengthy and thus inconsistent with the decisive timing required in a public health crisis ( 46 ).…”

After the 2009-2010 H1N1 pandemic, Switzerland overhauled its 1970 law on epidemics. The reform aimed at improving early detection, surveillance, and preparedness for future outbreaks of infectious diseases. Notably, the law introduced stronger coordination between Federal and Cantonal authorities, better management tools and international cooperation. The new law entered into force in 2016 after a long legislative process. During the process, the law survived a referendum fuelled by concerns about vaccine safety and interference of the pharmaceutical industry. The law was first applied during the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. The epicentre of the outbreak in Europe was in Lombardy, a large Italian region adjacent to Switzerland and with strong economic ties with its southern region of Ticino. The first months of pandemic response highlighted three major weaknesses. Firstly, the mechanisms introduced by the new law did not fully succeed in reducing the tension between Cantonal autonomy and central coordination of the pandemic response. Central and Cantonal authorities will need to put in place new rules and arrangements to avoid dangerous delayed responses to foreseeable problems related to the spread of infectious diseases. Secondly, relevant stakeholders excluded from the policymaking process (trade unions, firms, large industries) should be involved to allow the introduction of harsh restrictions when needed, both internally and in relation to cross-border workers.

“…Both the potential and the fragility of interorganizational and interjurisdictional coordination in crisis response and recovery operations have been well-documented (Dynes, 1970;Rosenthal et al, 1991). The COVID-19 crisis has merely confirmed these research findings (Alemanno, 2020;Arias et al, 2020;Hattke & Martin, 2020;Zao & Wu, 2020).…”

The COVID-19 crisis has tested public institutions, crisis leadership and societal solidarity to the core. Fault lines have come to the fore; unsuspected strengths have been noted. But will this be enough to initiate the necessary steps to prepare our societies for the future crises that will come? In this chapter, we offer the building blocks for an action agenda. We identify various pathways to enhanced resilience.

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit and is attacking Indonesia. This pandemic is very difficult to eradicate. The Indonesian government has formed a task force for handling the COVID-19 pandemic. The duties and functions of this task force are to coordinate and lead the six main components in the collaborative mechanism for handling the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of the research is to explain the application of collaborative governance in handling COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. This study used a descriptive analytical method using data derived from the data on handling this pandemic. The results obtained indicate that Indonesia is implementing a collaborative governance approach in the effort to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic. The implication of this research is the need to increase collaboration at the operational level. Research can be further developed to find a collaborative governance model in dealing with pandemics in Indonesia.
