This book explores the emergent concept of 'human security' within
the political context of COVID-19 Chinese politics. For decades,
Western nations have used 'human rights' as a rubric with which to
scold Chinese leaders, betraying a fundamental unwillingness to
accept diversity of governance systems. As COVID-19 has
demonstrated, different governance systems yield different
outcomes-the freedom of circulation, speech and movement in Western
democracies yielding one, and use of surveillance, lockdowns, and
private-public collaboration in China and Asian societies such as
Korea and Singapore yielding another. Chinese political scientists
have become fixated on the notion of 'human security,' a
utilitarian concept which insists on the importance of protecting
and extending human life via health care, technology, and a wide
range of other systems-sometimes, in ways which contradict Western
notions of human rights, even as they demonstrably achieve superior
outcomes for the humans involved. Being the first English language
book to explore these issues, this book aims to generate a
sustained theoretical relevance in the aftermath of the crisis
which is likely to have lasting effects on how people live and will
be of note for political scientists, China scholars, and
economists.
