Aslam and Gunaratna bring together a broad analysis of the responses of states in Asia to the threats presented by the COVID-19 pandemic in its early phase. While the impact of the pandemic has undoubtedly been disastrous, it has also taught many lessons about social, political, economic, and security norms in modern civilization. The contributors to this book look at how these lessons have been learned—often the hard way—by a range of states including India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Brunei Darussalam, and Jordan, as well as by international organizations including ASEAN. They look at a range of issues, going beyond the most apparent healthcare concerns to also look at challenges such as the gig economy, terrorism, extremism, religious identity, and cybersecurity. Using these country-based case studies, this book establishes a framework for understanding these challenges and establishing best practice and scalable solutions for addressing them. A valuable resource for scholars and practitioners trying to understand how the world will and won’t be changed by the impact of COVID-19, especially in the realms of security, society, and economy.

Alcohol consumption leads to many negative impact on all dimensions of health; physical, mental, social and spiritual. Alcohol consumption relates to over 60 groups of diseases, caused 3.3 million global deaths in 2012 (5.9% of all global death) including 634,539 deaths in the South-East Asia Region (SEAR). Alcohol attributed to 5.1% of global burden of diseases, in term of total Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in 2012, and 4.0% for SEAR. Alcohol consumption also leads to many Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular diseases and many cancers, as well as many communicable diseases including HIV/AIDS, TB and lower respiratory infection, that altogether attributed to a great proportion of global and regional burden of diseases. Overall, situation of policy and intervention to address harms from alcohol in SEAR countries is quite weak in term of incomprehensiveness, inconsistency, and outdate. The existing policies and legislation, furthermore, are lack of effective implementation and enforcement and have not taken well enough in to account public health interest. Most SEAR MSs have ineffective alcohol-specific infrastructures to support the alcohol policy process including agency, policy and strategy, law and regulation.

This book examines the public health responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Asia-Oceania region and their implications for democratic backsliding in the period January 2020 to mid-2021. The contributions discuss three key questions: How did political institutions in Asia-Oceania create incentives for effective public health responses to the COVID-19 outbreak? How did state capacities enhance governments’ ability to implement public health responses? How have governance responses affected the democratic quality of political institutions and processes? Together, the analyses reveal the extent to which institutions prompted an effective public health response and highlights that a high-capacity state was not a necessary condition for containing the spread of COVID-19 during the early phase of the pandemic. By combining quantitative and qualitative analyses, the volume also shows that the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the quality of democratic institutions has been uneven across Asia-Oceania. Guided by a comprehensive theoretical framework, this will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students of political science, policy studies, public health and Asian studies.
