“…Hofstede [29] indicates that nations differ on six dimensions: individualism-collectivism (the assimilation of individuals into principal groups), uncertainty avoidance (the level of stress facing an unknown future), power distance (strength of social hierarchy), masculinity-femininity (the allocation of emotional roles between men and women), long-term orientation (individual focus on the future, or the present and past), and indulgence versus self-restraint (individual control of desires related to enjoying life). Tausch [30] recently revalidated Hofstede's dimensions, finding ample support for four of them-power distance, individualism, indulgence, and long-term orientation.…”

The aim of this research is to show that vulnerability to pandemics is unequal across nations, and that culture besides other national factors helps unleash some of the disparities. A nation’s vulnerability to pandemics is defined as a state of fragility and dereliction at the national level perceptible at the early stage of the emergence of a pathogen when no definite information is available about it and no clear response is in place, creating a dependence on national factors as well as contextual factors. That is, vulnerability reflects the evolution or spread of a nascent pandemic in a given nation. A set of hypotheses that prescribe how a nation’s factors would contribute to its vulnerability is developed. Data reflecting the national factors of a sample of countries that reported early COVID-19 cases were collected from secondary sources to test the hypotheses. The results show that, whereas factors such as economy and healthcare had a modest effect, two cultural factors were salient in shaping a nation’s vulnerability to COVID-19. Furthermore, poverty prevalence associated with a nation’s vulnerability. Delineating how a nation’s culture and macroenvironmental factors shape its vulnerability at early stages of pandemic evolution, the results encourage policymakers to extend timely support to nations high on uncertainty avoidance and low on indulgence, as well as where poverty is prevalent. Such nations require proactive measures such as behavioral interventions and communications that are culturally sensitive and inclusive.

“…Vallicelli (2018) nature, which affect all aspects of human activity, so globalization has negative forms. For example, Arno Tausch (2016) notes that globalization is characterized by the fact that negative phenomena are growing, especially in Western countries and former communist countries of Eastern Europe, where they spread most rapidly and where they threaten the existence of an open society, such as growing distrust of the rule of law, shadow economy and violence, growing fatigue, lack of entrepreneurial spirit, careless rejection of employment.
