Recensies en Artikelen

"[...] this is a very good volume. It has a strong structure and has been tightly edited to provide empirical and analytical clarity that is well worth a read to anyone interested in how the pandemic has shaken the Asian region. [...] this book will make an enduring contribution to our understanding of social and policy reactions in infectious disease outbreaks in Asian."
- Nicholas Thomas, European Journal of East Asian Studies, Vol. 21, Iss. 3

"Any book on the topic of ‘public health in Asia during the COVID–19 pandemic’ must tick three boxes. It must be ambitious in scope; discuss the political, sociological and economic aspects of public health (not just the science of public health) at the national level; and examine Asia’s role in global health governance. This book does indeed tick all three. In addition, it has some strong highlights."

Public Health in Asia during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Global Health Governance, Migrant Labour, and International Health Crises

De onderstaande tekst is niet beschikbaar in het Nederlands en wordt in het Engels weergegeven.
Asian countries have dealt with COVID-19 with varying levels of success. The WHO’s lack of effective leadership in the region has resulted in increasingly contested global health governance. The pandemic continues to undermine global health, and the highly interdependent economies in Asia have exposed the speed with which pandemics can now spread. The security of migrant workers is more precarious than ever. Millions have been stranded and face limited access to health services. Public Health in Asia during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Global Health Governance, Migrant Labour, and International Health Crises provides an accessible framework for understanding the COVID-19 pandemic in Asia through the lens of global governance in health and labour.
