It has posed the same threat across the globe yet countries have responded very differently and some have clearly fared much better than others. Peter Baldwin uncovers the reasons why in this definitive account of the global politics of pandemic. He shows that how nations responded depended above all on the political tools available - how firmly could the authorities order citizens lives and how willingly would they be obeyed? In Asia nations quarantined the infected and their contacts. In the Americas and Europe they shut down their economies hoping to squelch the virus's spread. Others above all Sweden responded with a light touch putting their faith in social consensus over coercion. Whether citizens would follow their leaders requests and how soon they would tire of their demands were crucial to hopes of taming the pandemic.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Fighting The First Wave Why The Coronavirus Was Tackled So Differently Across The Globe\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Baldwin Peter (University Of California Los Angeles)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781316518335\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 392 Pages, Worked Examples Or Exercises\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 3\/18\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Public Health \u0026amp; Preventive Medicine","brand":"Baldwin Peter (University Of California Los Angeles)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49615369732401,"sku":"IN-G-9781316518335","price":39.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781316518335-fighting-the-first-wave-why-the-coronavirus-was-tackled-so-differently-across-the-globe","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
