We will take a look across nations — guided by national leaders with dramatically different styles — and see how Japan, India and other Asian countries outside of China have rolled out their national strategies for containing the pandemic. We will also take a closer look at who is considered among the best performers.

We are living through a time of fear and uncertainty. While we struggle to understand the ripple effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy faculty and guest experts have come together to provide weekly seminars to try and help us understand where we might be headed as a global community. Each week we'll address a different sector impacted by the novel coronavirus.

Join us for the second webinar on April 16 at 12 p.m. (PDT) on COVID-19 Global Impacts: How Nations Respond. Confirmed speakers:

Stephan Haggard, Lawrence and Sallye Krause Professor of Korea-Pacific Studies and Director of the Korea-Pacific Program, GPS UC San Diego

Ulrike Schaede, Professor and Director of the Japan Forum for Innovation and Technology, GPS UC San Diego

Ambassador Richard Verma, Vice Chair and Partner, The Asia Group

The information to connect to the webinar will be given during the registration confirmation process.
