Abstract

Since Covid-19 spread throughout the world, all countries have been competing to stop its spread, including in three democracies: Indonesia, the United States, and South Korea. The most effective way these three countries stop the spread of Covid-19 is by limiting physical interactions between citizens by imposing restrictions on activities or physical distancing. These three countries have several similar phenomena to be analyzed, especially regarding their methods in handling pandemic covid-19. This research was conducted to analyze the successes and failures of these three countries in resolving the Covid-19 pandemic through two approaches. This research was conducted using an explanatory qualitative method through a comparative study approach to three countries that adhere to a democratic system. Data collection was carried out through various literature and articles regarding Covid-19 policies published online by the three countries and various other international journals. Additional data was collected from online symposiums that invited speakers from these three countries. The results showed that Indonesia and the United States were not able to handle the virus properly. Both were slow in responding to the early situations to the point of being critical. Meanwhile, other democracies such as South Korea were able to deal with the pandemic quickly and managed to contain its spread.
