This book elucidates state-society relations in East Asia during the COVID-19 pandemic from a comparative perspective.

Citizens' attitudes toward individual freedom, the state's anti-pandemic policies, vaccine hesitancy, and income redistribution policies across the three countries are compared revealing how public opinion in Japan, South Korea, and China during the COVID-19 pandemic provides a basis for understanding the complex relationship between state and society in East Asia.
