Drawing on insights from politics, economics, sociology, law, public health, education, and geography, most authors are nationals of the cases they discuss. Written in non-specialist language, ten case studies are examined, providing a useful analysis of the first two years of COVID in the Asia-Pacific from the emergence of COVID in January 2020 to the lifting of restrictions in December 2021. Chapters focus on different issues according to the scholar's academic expertise, and a wide diversity of national pandemic experiences, challenges, and responses are showcased.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn essential read for scholars and students interested in the areas of Asia-Pacific politics, sociology, and public health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http: \/\/www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharles Hawksley\u003c\/strong\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Studies at the University of Wollongong (UOW), Australia.
