Asia-Pacific Review: Vol 27, No. 2, November 2020, pp.46-56Summary: This article explores how international society has responded to COVID-19, examines what response is necessary in order to end the pandemic, and also examines Japan's role in this response. The spread of infectious diseases is no longer just a threat to public health, but a global crisis, as it can paralyze the economy, the development, or the defenses of every country worldwide. However, the response structure has not adapted to this feature of modern infectious diseases. Issues with the existing structure have been exposed through COVID-19, such as lack of global solidarity, structural problems, and the lack of a coordinating mechanism for responding to the pandemic as a global crisis, none of which will improve without active commitments from member states.
