This comprehensive volume delves into the multifaceted experiences of the pandemic across various Commonwealth countries during that year. The Commonwealth, home to approximately one-quarter of the world's population, offers a diverse and comprehensive perspective on the global impact of COVID-19. Spanning from highly populated nations like India and Nigeria to small island states and territories, as well as advanced industrialized countries and developing nations, the Commonwealth encompasses a wide range of regions across the globe, including Africa, South and Southeast Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the early stages of the pandemic, vaccines were still in the development phase, and national response strategies adopted by Commonwealth countries varied widely. These strategies encompassed a range of approaches, from eradication and elimination to suppression and mitigation. The chapters in this book shed light on how governments from a selection of Commonwealth countries responded to the complex challenges posed by the pandemic, highlighting the factors that contributed to effective or less effective policies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book originally appeared as a special issue of The Round Table, a renowned journal of international affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 480g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 246 x 174 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032376660\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104035991802,"sku":"9781032376660","price":136.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1670599864705_book.jpg?v=1670831552","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/covid19-in-the-commonwealth-9781032376660","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
