ºÚÁÏÍø Vice-President of Research and Innovation publishes new book

Dr. Les Jacobs, Vice-President of Research and Innovation, ºÚÁÏÍø, has recently published a new book.

The book, , was authored by Dr. Jacobs, Dr. Ilan Vertinsky, Professor, University of British Columbia, and Dr. Yoshi Wada, Professor, Waseda Law School.

The book examines how the COVID-19 pandemic has put a newfound emphasis on the importance of global health security and the idea that countries must co-operate to address public health threats and meet domestic health-care needs.

As the first empirical book-length research with this focus, the book demonstrates that China, Japan, and India have nonetheless made significant advances in the vital fields of health law and policy over the past decade.
