Highlights
Global discord: values and power in a fractured world order / Paul Tucker. Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press, 2022.
Call no: HF1359 T89
Democracies are facing a drawn-out contest with authoritarian states that is entangling much of public policy with global security issues. In Global Discord, Paul Tucker lays out principles for a sustainable system of international cooperation, showing how democracies can deal with China and other illiberal states without sacrificing their deepest political values. — Publisher.
COVID-19 pandemic and the migrant population in Southeast Asia: vaccine, diplomacy and disparity / AKM Ahsan Ullah, Diotima Chattoraj. Singapore: World Scientific, 2023.
Call no: RA644 C87U41
While there is an emerging literature studying the impacts of COVID-19 on migration, the situation in Southeast Asia has not received much scholarly attention. This book fills the literature gap by studying the experiences of migrants and citizens in Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore and highlighting how the pandemic has exacerbated inequalities between and within the groups. — Publisher.
