This book traces the factors that contributed to the success in
controlling the COVID-19 pandemic in South Korea and identifies the
concept of familism as a major environmental factor. The government
of South Korea has achieved remarkable outcomes in its COVID-19
response, despite the fact that South Korea usually promotes a
family-focused investment of resources at the expense of broader
social goals. The author eschews these western cultural biases in
theories of crisis management and suggests that the key component
of South Korea's success is not self-centered egotism of
individuals but a focus on family and familism, which projects
state as an extension of family. He argues that while the success
in managing the COVID-19 epidemic is due to a combination of
factors, familism has been a key force in driving this successful
response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The book will be of interest to
scholars and students of governance, crisis management, civil
society, and citizen's participation in public administration,
international relations, Asian studies, and cultural studies and
Confucianism.
