SARS from East to West is the production of international collaboration investigating the first major pandemic in the new millennium, SARS. As the only major outbreak of a deadly infectious disease in modern times, the SARS case is an excellent example of an emerging contagious disease in an interdependent and interconnected world and provided the bases for how subsequent pandemics, like the bird flu and swine flu, are viewed and managed.

Eva-Karin Olsson and Lan Xue bring together crisis management scholars with genuine knowledge of the geographic area covered in each of the chapters to examine the response to the SARS crisis at national and international levels, as well as media analysis.

Eva-Karin Olsson is senior analyst at the National Center for Crisis Management Research and Training at Swedish National Defence college. Lan Xue is professor and Dean of School of Public Policy and Management, Executive Vice President of the Development Research Academy for the 21st Century, and Director of China Institute for Science and Technology Policy at Tsinghua University.
