Using a framework of risks, fear, and trust, they evaluate how the global health crisis has both revealed and exacerbated a deep crisis of confidence in institutions and systems around the world. In reaction to this they also look at how individuals, social groups and communities have faced fears and built trust at a more local level. The units of spatial analysis in these cases include urban cities, neighbourhoods, slum settlements, migrant camps, schools, markets and homes, for a broad spectrum of case types and rich empirical data.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEssential reading for social scientists including sociologists, anthropologists and scholars of other disciplines looking to understand the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic internationally and on a multi-scalar level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKhun Eng Kuah\u003c\/strong\u003e is Distinguished Professor in the School of International Studies at Jinan University, Guangzhou, China.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGilles Guiheux\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Sociology of China at the Centre d'Etudes en Sciences Sociales sur les Mondes Africains, Americains et Asiatiques, Université Paris Cité, France.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrancis K.
