Summary

"Hawksley and Georgeou bring together scholars and practitioners from across the region to analyse the main effects of the first two years of the COVID pandemic in a range of case studies from Southeast Asia, East Asia, South Asia and Oceania. The book provides a broad survey of how Indonesia, Bangladesh, Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Nepal, Australia, Cambodia, Taiwan and New Zealand attempted to manage the COVID pandemic, the challenges they faced and how they fared. Drawing on insights from politics, economics, sociology, law, public health, education and geography, most authors are nationals of the cases they discuss. Written in non-specialist language, ten case studies are examined, providing a useful analysis of the first two years of COVID in the Asia-Pacific from the emergence of COVID in January 2020 to the lifting of restrictions in December 2021. Chapters focus on different issues according to the scholar's academic expertise, and a wide diversity of national pandemic experiences, challenges and responses are showcased. An essential read for scholars and students interested in the areas of Asia-Pacific politics, sociology and public health"-- Provided by publisher.
