Woo Jun Jie (PhD 2014), Institute of Policy Studies’s Senior Research Fellow, published his new book Capacity-building and Pandemics-Singapore’s Response to Covid-19. This book focuses on the policy capacities, built up since the 2003 SARS crisis, that have contributed to Singapore’s Covid-19 response efforts. In doing so, the book discusses the fiscal, operational, analytical and political capacities that have driven Singapore's policy response to the pandemic, and proposes a broad policy capacity framework that will be applicable to the analysis of other contexts as well.
