Abstract

What happens when governments wield the capacity but lack the will to deliver public services that can mean the difference between life and death? During the COVID-19 Pandemic, federal governments in Brazil and the United States suppressed epidemiological data and spread medical misinformation. Undertaking a paired qualitative analysis, we show how ‘compensatory collaborative governance’ initiatives addressed unreliable federal transparency in Brazil and the United States by collating and disseminating subnational data. We propose that these initiatives, which compensate for weak governmental commitments to public policies, represent a theoretically relevant subtype of collaborative governance.
