Abstract

This article provides a conceptual analysis of the Common Good and its influence within the Neo‐Weberian State (NWS) framework. By addressing concerns regarding its practical application and the effects on public sector reforms, the research delves into the dynamics of crisis management and highlights the conflict between economic influence and societal values. By emphasizing the interconnectedness of the modern world, particularly evident in the global challenges posed by a series of crises, the paper suggests an evaluation of the NWS and Common Good conceptual model based on the management of the COVID‐19 crisis in Brazil and Mexico. The study offers insights into promoting fair and sustainable governance by linking the Common Good with social justice in crisis management.
