The Covid-19 pandemic has left deep scars in societies, but as we move forward, we face new and challenging obstacles in the post-Covid era. These challenges provide an opportunity to rebuild and improve mechanisms of public value (PV) creation and preservation, taking into account the lessons learned from the pandemic and the difficult road ahead.

The aim of this book is to explore the possibilities of multi-stakeholder value co-creation, involving civil society, public managers, politicians, and society as a whole in a new post-pandemic era. The book examines various facets of public value that are of interest to scholars in the field, including value stability and transitions, inequalities within and between publics, necropolitics, disaster preparedness, value measurement, and sustainability. These topics represent important explorations within public value theory and can greatly enrich PV research in the future.

The book is intended for a wide audience, including academics and practitioners in public administration and public policy, as well as scholars in government, healthcare policy, and economics. It provides valuable insights and perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing our societies as we navigate the post-pandemic world.
