This comprehensive book looks at COVID-19, along with other recent
infectious disease outbreaks, with the broad aim of providing
constructive lessons and critical reflections from across a wide
range of perspectives and disciplinary interests within the risk
analysis field. The chapters in this edited volume probe the roles
of risk communication, risk perception, and risk science in helping
to manage the ever-growing pandemic that was declared a public
health emergency of international concern in the beginning of 2020.
A few chapters in the book also include relevant content discussing
past disease outbreaks, such as Zika, Ebola and MERS-CoV. This book
distils past and present knowledge, appraises current responses,
introduces new ideas and data, and offers key recommendations,
which will help illuminate different aspects of the global health
crisis. It also explores how different constructive insights
offered from a 'risk perspective' might inform decisions on how
best to proceed in response as the pandemic continues. The chapters
in this book were originally published as a special issue of the
Journal of Risk Research.
