In this paper, we analyse the conditions under which the COVID‐19 pandemic will lead either to social order (adherence to measures put in place by authorities to control the pandemic) or to social disorder (resistance to such measures and the emergence of open conflict). Using examples from different countries (principally the United Kingdom, the United States, and France), we first isolate three factors which determine whether people accept or reject control measures. These are the historical context of state‐public relations, the nature of leadership during the pandemic and procedural justice in the development and operation of these measures. Second, we analyse the way the crisis is policed and how forms of policing determine whether dissent will escalate into open conflict. We conclude by considering the prospects for order/disorder as the pandemic unfolds.

关于 COVID-19 大流行期间的秩序和混乱。


在本文中，我们分析了 COVID-19 大流行将导致社会秩序（遵守当局为控制大流行而采取的措施）或社会混乱（抵制此类措施和出现公开冲突）的条件。 ）。通过使用不同国家（主要是英国、美国和法国）的例子，我们首先分离出决定人们是否接受或拒绝控制措施的三个因素。这些是国家公共关系的历史背景、大流行期间领导的性质以及这些措施的制定和实施中的程序正义。其次，我们分析了危机的监管方式以及监管形式如何决定异议是否会升级为公开冲突。最后，我们考虑了疫情蔓延时秩序/混乱的前景。
