Abstract
This chapter will explore the implications of the pandemic in terms of constructing respective voluntary action policies across the four jurisdictions. It will do this by focusing on the prevailing policy context within each of the four jurisdictions. This will provide a within-case analysis. The chapter will then move to offer a comparative analysis of how these prevailing policy contexts structured the jurisdictional responses and how these were enabled or constrained by the prevailing orthodoxy.
