Libertés individuelles et gestion sanitaire en temps de Covid-19 : une analyse socio-spatiale et politique du cas japonais.
Intervention de Adrienne Sala, chercheuse en sociologie politique associée à la Fondation France-Japon de l’EHESS et chercheuse invitée à l’université de Tokyo ; Rémi Scoccimarro, maître de conférences en langue et civilisation japonaises, université de Toulouse Jean Jaurès, chercheur associé à l’institut français de recherche sur le Japon.
Modération : Julien Mary, MSH Sud.
Résumé               
L’analyse socio-spatiale à l’aide d’une cartographie détaillée de l'épidémie de covid19 au Japon, par Rémi Scoccimarro, sera complétée par Adrienne Sala d’une analyse politique de la gestion de crise au cours des trois différentes vagues (mars-mai//juillet-août/depuis novembre) qui rythment cette crise sanitaire. Les intervenants présenteront brièvement le cadre légal des maladies infectieuses au Japon, qui confère une place majeure à la notion de "responsabilité" (du gouvernement national, des gouvernements locaux et des citoyens). Ils analyseront ensuite la coordination des acteurs politiques, scientifiques, économiques et des citoyens, au niveau national et local, dans la mise en œuvre des différentes mesures appliquées à chaque nouvelle vague, et ce en soulignant les tensions, les rapports de force et les conflits d’intérêt inhérents à cette crise. En conclusion, et en ouverture vers des réflexions nouvelles, la relation japonaise entre liberté et sécurité soulevée par la crise sanitaire sera abordée.

Abstract:
The failure to prevent international dissemination of COVID-19 results in a major exogenous shock. Social scientists should not limit themselves to estimating the economic impact and proposing mitigating measures. It is also critical to better assess the social and economic profiles of the populations the most at risk of acting as vectors of virus importation or the most exposed to domestic transmission. The low prevalence observed in Japan in the first half of 2020, due to limited local transmission, enables a quantitative investigation of socio-economic factors influencing the spread using municipality-level and prefecture-level data. Space congestion, international mobility, and occupational exposure are identified as expected, along with a strong income effect. Policy implications that appear also relevant for other countries are considered.

Pandemics and asymmetric shocks: Lessons from the history of plagues
Guido Alfani (Bocconi University)
The ultimate effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are impossible to foretell. This column examines major plague episodes from the past millennium to draw lessons for the current crisis. The effects of the 14th century Black Death and 17th century plagues were heterogeneous, depending on multiple epidemiological factors and initial conditions. Some regions recovered quickly, while others suffered prolonged economic damage. Dealing with the asymmetric shocks of COVID-19 and preventing similar economic collapse calls for coordination and collective action by affected countries.

Dans le cadre d’une série de quatre publications issues du projet de recherche Kiki taiô gaku (Etude sur la « gestion »  des crises) de l’Institut de Science sociale de l’université de Tokyo.
Les catastrophes naturelles, les guerres, les paniques, la démographie, les questions relatives à la famille, à la santé, au travail, aux relations humaines sont autant de facteurs de crise sociale nécessitant une gestion appropriée et pour laquelle les connaissances en sciences sociales sont mobilisées. Cet ouvrage propose de réfléchir aux mesures de gestion de crise en questionnant le droit, les institutions, les valeurs, les comportements en temps de crise.
