It traces the complexity of effects and responses, at different scales, through the first critical year. Written by a range of scholars and practitioners working in the region the book focuses on six key themes: public health; the economies (notably the collapse of tourism, the revival of local agriculture and fishing, and the rebirth of self-reliance, and even barter); the rescue by remittances; social tensions and responses; public policy; and future ‘bubbles’ and regional connections. Even with marine borders that excluded the virus all island states were affected by COVID-19 because of a considerable dependence on tourism – prompting urgent challenges for governance, economic management and development, as small states sought to balance lives against livelihoods in search of revitalisation or even a ‘new normal’. | | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Island Studies; Public Policy; COVID-19; Coronavirus; Tourism; Governance; Self-Reliance; Security; Gobalisa | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-16-5285-1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-981-16-5287-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-981-16-5285-1 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapor |
