I then turn to the crisis management framework, discussing how the developmental state foundations and the democratic regime lead to Taiwan's success on mask policy, digital governance, and strong state-society collaboration and communication. Moreover, the capacity of a government to define and communicate the uncertainty the crisis brings is also an essential element in an effective response because collective sense-making can help increase citizens' voluntary compliance.
