Post-Pandemic Asia - A New Normal for Regional Security? - E-book - ePub

At the same time, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has not made traditional security challenges disappear, especially in and around Asia.
This Report presents short- and long-term scenarios for each of the hotspots that challenge peace and stability in Asia, a region that, after the pandemic, has become even more crucial for a swift global recovery.
