Learning from Crisis Management: FOCUS with Olivier Borraz

What lessons can we learn from the French government’s management of the Covid-19 crisis? This first episode of the 3rd season of FOCUS–Sciences Po’s series of videos that invites researchers and professors to explore an idea or concept through the lens of their scholarly expertises–features Olivier Borraz, Professor of Sociology at Sciences Po and Researcher at the CNRS. In this episode, he explores the context, the reasons for the French government’s lack of preparation, the reticence of researchers to sound the alarm, and the need to learn from our strengths and weaknesses after the fact.

Join us each Monday for the next eight weeks as we delve into Sciences Po researchers’ wealth of knowledge on subjects as wide-ranging as they are thought-provoking.
