This study focuses on the Sweden coronavirus strategy as a unique model among the common one, to tackle the covid-19 pandemic which started in China at the end of 2019 and then started spreading around the world. Sweden took a distinct way to deal with the first wave of the pandemic from January to the end of October 2020. It did not impose a lock down, did not force people to stay at home, did not close the markets and left the schools for people under 16 open. Although this strategy resulted in the death of around 6000 within the first wave, most of the victims were elderlies aged 60 to 90 years old who lost their lives due to some miscalculations and problems inside the care homes. This counted as a dark side of the strategy. This study raises some questions regarding the uniqueness of Swedish approach and how it differs from the common approach in most countries. It also seeks to find out on what bases this approach has been built and how Kurdistan Region can benefit from it. The study found out that the unique policy was based on some characteristics of the society such as the trust between people and the government and public institutions, trust-based policies, natural social distancing, and the common responsibility culture followed by Swedes during the crisis. Understanding these traits are critical before assessing the Sweden Coronavirus strategy. This study also highlights some key areas which could be taken as lessons for Kurdistan Government to consider during the pandemic. This study follows the qualitative approach to collect its data and employ analytical and descriptive methods to present and analyses the collected date

Scholarly Attention

Abstract Despite the existence of a large Indian diaspora, there has been relatively little scholarly attention paid to India's relations with overseas Indians after its independence in 1947. The common narrative is that India abruptly cut ties with overseas Indians at independence, as it adhered to territorially based understandings of sovereignty and citizenship. Re-examining India's relations with Indian communities in Ceylon and Burma between the 1940s and the 1960s, this article demonstrates that, despite its rhetoric, independent India did not renounce responsibility for its diaspora. Instead, because of pre-existing social connections that spanned the former British empire, the Government of India faced regular demands to assist overseas Indians, and it responded on several fronts. To understand this continued engagement with overseas Indians, this article introduces the idea of ‘post-imperial sovereignty'. This type of sovereignty was layered, as imperial sovereignty had been, but was also concerned with advancing norms designed to protect minority communities across the world. India’s strategy to argue for these norms was simultaneously multilateral, regional, and bilateral. It sought to use the United Nations, the Commonwealth, and the 1947 Asian Relations Conference to secure rights for overseas Indians. As those attempts failed, India negotiated claims for citizenship with governments in Burma and Ceylon, and shaped the institutions and language through which Indians voiced demands for their rights in these countries. Indian expressions of sovereignty beyond the space of the nation-state, therefore, impacted on practices of citizenship, even during the process of de-recognition in Asia.

This article documents the rise to prominence of the informal economic sector in academic developmental discourse. After a brief survey of the South African context, the article contrasts the new way of viewing the informal sector with the old. It shows how this shift in attitudes, ranging from grudging respect to outright advocacy, has generated new conceptual tools with which to theorise economic informality. A keen appreciation of the imperatives entailed by the different perspectives of the main protagonists is vital to any reconciliation of the divergent policy prescriptions being advanced for the informal sector.Bureaucrats and human rights activists view informality through very different lenses. The World Bank’s exit/exclusion philosophy recognises that economies at different stages of development will require customised approaches in coming to terms with economic informality. However, the common denominator of the theoretical views articulated in the article is a recognition that the informal sector cannot be dismissed out of hand, and that it has grown to the extent that it warrants serious attention and respect. Measures taken by the government to compensate for losses incurred due to informality could prove ultimately to be counter-productive. The informal economic sector has become a force to be reckoned with.

The new variant of corona virus from Wuhan is indeed very infectious. The Covid-19 has shocked the world because it is so deadly and takes many lives. So this has a significant impact on each country. Indonesia, to tackle the spread of this virus, has also implemented several ways, namely by encouraging people to live clean and healthy lives, implementing the 5M (Wearing masks, Washing hands, Keeping a distance, Staying away from crowds, Limiting mobilisation and interaction) and imposing restrictions. The government's efforts are solely for the common good. However, it is undeniable the large-scale social restrictions or Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB) implementation also has an unfavourable impact on the community because their movement is restricted. This indirectly also harms the people's economic movement. So there are still some people who violate this PSBB rule. This study was conducted to determine whether the ultimum remedium is applied in law enforcement for PSBB violations. The research will use qualitative research by collecting data and news analyzation. The study results show that the government applies criminal sanctions and fines as an alternative to deter people.

Fact Finding

Indonesia is one of the countries affected by Covid-19 and even accounts for 7.8 percent of the death rate and is one of the highest in the world. During the increasing number of cases, Indonesia accepted foreign workers from China. This policy shows that the Indonesian government cannot ignore the economic aspects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The author considers it important to study the Indonesian government's strategy in the Covid-19 outbreak from an economic perspective. The method used in this article is a descriptive qualitative approach. This means that the author conducts a simple study by describing the state of an object to be studied at this time, based on the facts found (fact-finding), to then be placed with the relevant theory. The conclusion from this research is that the government needs policies to save people's lives during the Covid-19 pandemic, including social rights; physical tickets; use of personal protective equipment; personal hygiene; work and study at home and, delay all activities.
