During the recent outbreak of Covid-19, many countries came under the spotlight due to their (in)efficient response to the virus. Taiwan was expected to have one of the toughest crisis related to the virus due to its proximity and ties to China, where the outbreak caused a complete lockdown of Wuhan. However, defying these expectations, Taiwan kept the number of cases low. How was Taiwan able to keep its number of infections and deaths so low? How will the Covid-19 crisis affect Taiwan's standing in the international community and its future?

What can we learn from the Taiwanese approach? The round table, organised by the Taiwan Study Center and the East Asian Resource Library, on the topic of »The Taiwan model for pandemic management and lessons for Slovenia« will address the lessons to be learned from Taiwanese response to the virus outbreak and the ways the crisis affected the international community’s perceptions toward Taiwan and its surrounding region.
