Why and how did the crisis come about? Are there any instructive lessons to be drawn from comparisons with the Great Depression of the 1930s? What are the democratic response mechanisms to cope with serious crises? Do they work? Is China a new trend setter? Do values matter? Are global democratic rules a possibility? These are some of the key questions addressed in the volume UR - https://openresearchlibrary.org/content/d9c86256-7edf-4cca-bb74-9b65e4801ec1 ER -
