A crisis has the power to bring a country together, or to bitterly divide it and exacerbate polarization. The COVID-19 pandemic poses a historically all-encompassing challenge to nations around the world, with political responses ranging broadly, from national unity to bitter partisan conflict. Why has COVID-19 fuelled acrimonious partisanship in some countries, but not others? What lessons can we draw for the post-pandemic world? In this webinar, Tasha Kheiriddin addresses the issue of political partisanship during COVID-19.
