Synopsis: This book provides a comparative study of people's behaviour towards state through mask wearing between European-Northern America and Asian countries. Examining citizens' attitudes towards their state during the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspectives of history, linguistics, politics, economics and sociology, the contributors in this volume explore to what extent people accept the wearing of mask in countries where governments have made it mandatory as compared against countries where people wear masks voluntarily. The book thus looks at mask wearing from a political dichotomy between authoritarianism and liberalism and posits the extent to which political divisions could have existed in public opinion over the measures taken against COVID-19. Filled with invaluable insights through research in 13 countries, this book will appeal to readers in policy making and influencing public opinion from the Europe-Asia comparative study.
