Governance robustness put to the test by Covid-19. The case of Local Area Plans in the Lombardy Region
This article, using the concept of governance robustness, will study the reaction to Covid-19 of a peculiar system of local governance of social assistance; the Italian Local Area Plan (LAP). The article aims to fill the research gap on how a governance system can face external pressure and turbulent events by relying on adaptability and flexibility. In particular, the case of Lombardy, the European region most affected by the first pandemic wave, will be analysed using a survey conducted on 91 LAPS. The article will show how LAPS proved to possess a relevant degree of robustness and were able to effectively resist the external shock of Covid-19 without governance disruption, guaranteeing not simply continuity but also several strategies of adaptability and innovation.
