Description
In this book, the focus is on five Asian countries/regions (Iran, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, and Japan) that show distinct approaches to combating infections. It specifically examines how the recent pandemic arose stigma in the context of history and sociocultural relations, how it is discussed and problematized among locals, and how disparate institutions and individuals mobilized to address it. A global comparative analysis across Greater Asia is presented in this book through the contributions of experts from multiple fields who have researched extensively in each region.
