| Abstract | "Using "risk" as a conceptual lens, this book analyzes how communities across East Asia responded to the disruption unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The contributors to this book look at how governments, societies, and individuals have perceived, experienced, dealt with and interpreted the pandemic, and the transformations it has brought across countries like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, and the Philippines"-- Provided by publisher. |
