Political systems adopted a variety of social policy responses and reforms to face the external shock caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Here we mention some valuable sources to track those responses, evaluate the degree of institutionalisation of the social policy reforms, and measure the outcomes. These include books, journal articles, special issues, grey literature and databases. We will not here reproduce all sources drawn upon. Instead, we identify what we feel are key texts and resources to study social policy reforms during/after the COVID-19 pandemic from an institutionalist approach.
