Containing Contagion: The Politics of Disease Outbreaks in Southeast Asia

Published 1 year, 2 months ago
Description
This book analyzes Southeast Asia's response to infectious disease outbreaks, focusing on the implementation of the revised International Health Regulations (IHR) of 2005.  The research examines the interplay between sovereignty, regional cooperation (particularly within ASEAN), and the political context influencing disease reporting and outbreak response.  The author investigates the effectiveness of the IHR and the Asia Pacific Strategy for Emerging Diseases (APSED) framework in promoting compliance and capacity building.  Key factors explored include political systems, health system capacity, and the securitization of infectious diseases as regional security threats.  The study uses both quantitative and qualitative data, including interviews and official reports, to assess progress and challenges in disease surveillance and reporting across the region.
