Not too long ago, the world was busy crafting a global future with
unmitigated globalization and the relentless march of Industry 4.0.
A black swan event then happened. An outbreak of COVID-19
coronavirus surged worldwide and resulted in a global pandemic that
devastated economies, eliminated the weak/infirmed/elderly/young,
and then targeted the general population. It destroyed small and
medium-sized enterprises and hastened the demise of sunset
industries, resulting in record numbers of bankruptcies. Instead of
succumbing to the despair of a worldwide cataclysmic event, a group
of Asian scholars from multiple disciplines got together. This
group of scholars put their different specializations to use and
adopted an on-site, viewpoint perspective of how the pandemic
affected their lives and also the lives of the communities in their
studies to contribute to this volume.The volume is
interdisciplinary by nature and a product of exceptional
contributions from a multidisciplinary panel of scholars, ranging
from anthropologists, sociologists, historians to economists. The
interdisciplinary approach employed here allows one to look at and
understand subject matter critically - COVID-19 and its recovery -
not just through diverse analytical frameworks but also through
broader, historical variations as well as technologies studies.
There is no existing literature equivalent to this subject matter
given the ongoing pandemic as it unfolds simultaneously across
regions and even continents while exerting differential impacts on
various sectors such as agriculture, religion, technology, etc.
With the advantage of its interdisciplinary approaches examined in
differing geographical locations in Asia, the volume makes a
scholarly contribution to analyzing the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak
and the coping mechanisms adopted by humankind in various
capacities to mitigate it.
