This is a book for an extraordinary time, about a pandemic for
which there is no modern precedent. It is an edited collection of
original essays on Asia's legal and policy responses to the
Covid-19 pandemic, which, in a matter of months, swept around the
globe, infecting millions. It transformed daily life in almost
every corner of the planet: lockdowns of cities and entire
countries, physical distancing and quarantines, travel restrictions
and border controls, movement-tracking technology, mandatory
closures of all but essential services, economic devastation and
mass unemployment, and government assistance programs on
record-breaking scales. Yet a pandemic on this scale, under
contemporary conditions of globalization, has left governments and
their advisors scrambling to improvise solutions, often themselves
unprecedented in modern times, such as the initial lockdown of
Wuhan. This collection of essays analyzes law and policy responses
across Asia, identifying cross-cutting themes and challenges. It
taps the collective knowledge of an interdisciplinary team of
sixty-one researchers both in the service of policy development,
and with the goal of establishing a scholarly baseline for research
after the storm has passed. The collection begins with an
epidemiological overview and survey of the law and policy themes.
The jurisdiction-specific case studies and cross-cutting thematic
essays cover five topics: first wave containment measures;
emergency powers; technology, science, and expertise; politics,
religion, and governance; and economy, climate, and sustainability.
