Description

Internationalizing Epidemic Control in China, 1912–2022. This project aims to investigate the historic origin of China’s international roles and practices in epidemic control and the government’s involvement with domestic epidemic control schemes over the past century. It expects to generate new knowledge about ways the power of the Chinese state is exercised using historical and comparative approaches. Expected outcomes include fostering interdisciplinary collaboration between medical and socio-political historians by working with an international relations scholar to contribute to the study of the politics of epidemic control. This will significantly enhance the capacity of the Australian Government to respond to future global crises in which China is a prominent stakeholder.. Scheme: Discovery Projects.
