Abstract. The objective of the article was to evaluate the relationship between the Covid-19 pandemic and globalisation (GLO) and de-globalisation (de-GLO) tendencies. Based on a theoretical evaluation of this relationship as well as historical development, it concludes that Covid-19 is not the mother of de-GLO but its child, born in a completely new global context facilitating the pandemic. The roots of the pandemic’s conception are more deeply embedded in the capitalist system, in its principal elements (market system, consumerist development model…). GLO as a global division of labour is not over; the factors enhancing GLO are winning over those slowing it down, provided that GLO becomes more egalitarian and more human. A fully-fledged de-GLO would be inefficient and painful. While the pandemic is not a black swan, it could have been predicted. Such an unprecedented crisis impersonated by the pandemic also offers an opportunity to fundamentally rethink of our theories, way of life and development paradigm and, not the least, the whole system to be better prepared for future similar crises. Keywords: Globalisation, de-globalisation, Covid-19, development model, anthropocentrism, system, history of GLO, future of GLO, post pandemic

Povzetek. Članek analizira družbenoekonomske učinke pandemije Covida-19 na migracije v kontekstu novega režima (ne)mobilnosti, v katerem so se mednarodne migracije močno zmanjšale. Na podlagi najnovejših analiz in poročil globalnih akterjev mobilnosti preizkušamo tezo, da so migranti ostali na delovnih mestih, da smo »drugi« lahko delali od doma. Migrantsko delo je pomembno za relativno nemoteno funkcioniranje družbe v obdobju največje zdravstvene krize; odvisnost nacionalnih ekonomij od migrantskega dela pa je stalnica, ki jo je pandemija še zaostrila. Analiza kaže, da migrantski delavci v času omejene fizične mobilnosti (kot del globalnega prekariata in »novih revnih«, ki jih je ustvarila pandemija) prispevajo k sistemskemu delovanju družbe. V ožjem vidiku analize se kaže precejšnja odpornost migrantskega dela, o čemer priča skorajda nespremenjen obseg denarnih nakazil migrantov v pandemičnem letu 2020.

Povzetek. V članku smo konceptualno obravnavali spremembe pri organiziranju življenjskih sfer doma (bivanja) in dela (delovnega mesta) z vidika vsakodnevnih praks v časovno-prostorski perspektivi. Izhajali smo iz klasične sociološke dileme o mehanizmih diferenciacije in integracije. Zastavljeno raziskovalno vprašanje je, ali pandemija Covida-19 ob potencirani tehnološki mediaciji pospeši proces dediferenciacije sfer doma in dela. V analizi smo ugotovili protislovne učinke tega procesa, zlasti problematično vzpostavljanje zasebnosti doma kot sidrišča vseh aktivnosti. Manifestacija sidriščnosti doma je domocentričnost, ki jo povezujemo s tradicionalnimi, predindustrijskimi oblikami družbenoprostorske integracije homogenih, nediferenciranih življenjskih sfer.

Abstract. During a pandemic, it is essential that most people respect the measures in place so as to keep the health crisis at bay. Still, a consensus must exist in society that the measures imposed by government are truly needed, just and legitimate, with several factors affecting whether this is achieved. In the article, we present the results of qualitative research (23 in-depth interviews) conducted in Slovenia at the peak of the first lockdown, focusing on how the study participants (women who were living alone during the first lockdown) perceived communication from the government and the public health authorities that comprised the official crisis communication group for managing the pandemic in Slovenia. The results present critical mistakes in communication that shaped trust in the official communicators and failed to motivate and encourage respondents to comply with the recommended and prescribed protective measures. Keywords: Covid-19, protective measures, risk communication, trust, fear appeal, solo-living women

Abstract. During the first shockwave of the Covid-19 pandemic, the risk of infection was inaccurately touted as ‘the great equaliser’. However, the virus’ rapid spread and the state of emergency accelerated the magnitude of pre-existing inequalities by taking a heavy toll on already marginalised, exploited and extremely poor segments of societies. Focussing on sub-national contexts in Bulgaria and Kosovo, this article demonstrates how Bulgarian Roma and Kosovo Serbs were not only hit the hardest by the introduction of ad hoc lockdowns and curfews, respectively, but also how disciplinary mechanisms of control and surveillance were embedded in public methods and cultural policies of scapegoating and ascribing images of societal irresponsibility and backwardness upon these two minority groups. Keywords: Bulgaria; Kosovo; minority groups; pandemic; ad hoc restrictions; stigmatisation

Abstract. The Covid-19 crisis that hit the USA especially hard was accompanied by intensified anti-Chinese racism fuelled by the anti-Chinese rhetoric used by the Trump Administration. Although Trump’s political opponents blamed him for having mismanaged the pandemic response, the anti-Chinese stance was a bipartisan issue. The article aims to analyse anti-Chinese racism in its systemic and historical dimensions. It examines the nature and strategic utility of antiChinese racism for past, the Trump, and future administrations as well as for America’s elites generally. It is shown that anti-Chinese racism was substantially transformed during the pandemic and above all utilised to address the general destabilisation of the US-dominated socio-political and socio-economic order both at home and globally. China’s growing importance around the world and the potential domestic destabilisation of the US mean that the strategic utility of anti-Chinese racism may well remain important for some time to come. Keywords: Covid-19 crisis, Trump’s presidency, antiChinese racism, systemic racism, foreign policy

Abstract. Crisis response planning can never fully prevent a certain amount of improvisation given that, in some cases, it is necessary, if not even desirable. This article analyses the research question on the relationship between crisis planning and improvisation in theory and with respect to the Covid-19 epidemic in Slovenia. Despite existing systemic recommendations, normative and to some extent operational crisis preparedness, our analysis of the country’s response reveals improvisation in several key elements: planning, decision-making, coordination and crisis communication. The quite considerable improvisation seen with the epidemic is the outcome of its unexpected dimensions, the absence of a comprehensive crisis management plan, and individual actors’ insufficient crisis management competences. It has been reflected in the establishing of specialised ad hoc structures, overnight decisions and their sudden reversals, and often in inconsistent and inappropriate communication with the public.

Abstract. This research aims to give insight into the processes of public interaction between the police and antigovernment protesters during the Coronavirus Crisis in Poland by evaluating crowd control mechanisms. It addresses the research question: where does the model of anti-government protest policing developed by the Polish Police during the Covid-19 pandemic lie on a continuum of antinomic ideal types of escalated force and negotiated management? The research is embedded in studies on protest policing and draws on an intertextual qualitative analysis of police statements and media news. It shows that the policing of protests was closer to escalated force. However, a hybrid model was involved that combined elements of coercion and negotiation. In terms of protecting the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and police tolerance for community disruption, this particular form of policing is close to escalated force. Still, the communication between the police and the assembly participants, the extent and manner of the arrests closely mirrored both models. One dimension, the extent and nature of the force used, indicated negotiated management. Keywords: protest policing, contention, contentious politics, de-democratisation, Coronavirus Crisis, Poland

Abstract. The article aims to explore the public’s fear of data being misused when using European Covid-19 contact-tracing applications. The point of departure lies in considering the research question of whether the Covid-19 pandemic has influenced the platformisation of traditional institutions, i.e., whether the design of Europe’s proximity-tracing applications mimic the dataintensive web services of commercial platforms, namely commercial APIs and their data policies, in order to bypass the right to privacy. We accordingly argue that is vital to address the public’s fears of governmental and corporate dataveillance as well as data misuse while using such apps. The investigation entails of a critical analysis of the Exposure Notification System framework designed by Apple and Google (or GAEN) and the #OstaniZdrav application. The article rejects the justification of the public’s fear of governmental dataveillance, while recognising the possibility of corporate data misuse.

Abstract. The Covid-19 pandemic has transformed our society, with administrative procedures – as relationships between public authorities and citizens and businesses – being no exception. Still, the innovative digitalisation of such procedures means the 58 administrative units across Slovenia have been able to develop a responsive administrative system. Using normative, descriptive and statistical research methods, the article identifies the relevant drivers and barriers, like user demands leading to a more responsive service, the lack of legal bases, and the top-down approach discouraging progress. Correlation analysis shows that digitalisation also holds important positive implications for the principles of good governance. Moreover, larger administrative units are more likely to achieve a higher degree of digitalisation and hence better public governance. The findings are useful for designing evidence-based public policies to properly respond to pandemic-associated challenges.

The Covid-19 pandemic has transformed our\u0000society, with administrative procedures – as relationships between public authorities and citizens and businesses – being no exception. Still, the innovative digitalisation of such procedures means the 58 administrative\u0000units across Slovenia have been able to develop a responsive administrative system. Using normative, descriptive\u0000and statistical research methods, the article identifies the\u0000relevant drivers and barriers, like user demands leading to a more responsive service, the lack of legal bases,\u0000and the top-down approach discouraging progress.\u0000Correlation analysis shows that digitalisation also holds\u0000important positive implications for the principles of good\u0000governance. Moreover, larger administrative units are\u0000more likely to achieve a higher degree of digitalisation\u0000and hence better public governance. The findings are\u0000useful for designing evidence-based public policies to\u0000properly respond to pandemic-associated challenges.\u0000Keywords: public administration, administrative procedures, Covid-19, good public governance, innovation,\u0000digitalisation, Slovenia","PeriodicalId":44389,"journal":{"name":"TEORIJA IN PRAKSA","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47905295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
