In this seminar, Jennifer Bouey, associate professor in Georgetown’s School of Health, shared her latest projects to promote global health dialogues and global infectious disease response system strengthening in Asia. Her study focuses on the South Korea government’s early responses to COVID-19 and how such success impacts the country’s global soft power. Bouey discussed how this case study will provide a model to analyze soft power and pandemic response strengthening and to open discussions on health diplomacy in the changing geopolitics.
This event was co-sponsored by the Center for Global Health Science and Security, the School of Health’s Department of Health Management and Policy, and the Global Health Institute.
