商品描述

This book presents an overview of social problems and health problems that arose out of, or were flared up by, the global COVID-19 pandemic. It addresses most vital problems in developed and developing countries from literally around the world, by top country experts in their respective fields of study. The book debates first certain overall thematic topics and then analyzes a number of key country case studies. Apart from a set of key theme/problem-based chapters, the country case studies from major-hit countries in the world are yet another highlight of the book. They also feature, in addition to analyzing the pandemic and policy responses per se, one extra special focal point each. The book hence covers the core of most severe social problems, including health problems, that have been spurred or set off by the COVID-19 pandemic. An overall theory chapter that uses a global data analysis and a short theoretical appraisal on the 'human face' of the Pandemic is also offered at the beginning of book, to bring back humanity and human decency (i.e. decency of the human condition) into the scientific debate as well as policy making arena, which is utterly needed at this point of human development.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書概述了因全球 COVID-19 大流行而產生或加劇的社會問題和健康問題。它由各國領域的頂尖專家針對發達國家和發展中國家的最重要問題進行探討，涵蓋了全球各地的情況。本書首先討論一些整體主題，然後分析若干關鍵國家的案例研究。除了以主題/問題為基礎的幾個重要章節外，來自全球受疫情影響最嚴重國家的案例研究也是本書的另一個亮點。這些案例研究除了分析疫情及其政策反應外，還各自聚焦於一個特別的重點。因此，本書涵蓋了因 COVID-19 大流行而引發或加劇的最嚴重社會問題的核心，包括健康問題。本書開頭還提供了一個整體理論章節，利用全球數據分析和對疫情「人性面貌」的簡短理論評估，旨在將人性和人類尊嚴（即人類狀況的尊嚴）重新帶入科學辯論和政策制定的領域，這在當前人類發展的階段是極其必要的。
