ABSTRACT

The spread of contagious diseases by viruses such as new influenza (or swine flu) and superbacteria have a direct impact on security for people, and it can cause severe damage to the economy. This article tries to analyze the pattern of change in the policy process based on the model of Event-Related Policy Change by Birkland. It can lead us to find a more general and comprehensive pattern of policy change subsequent to new disaster events. It also has implications for policy adoption and learning. Disaster events are usually considered to be focusing events that draw the attention of the public and create political vulnerabilities. To mitigate these vulnerabilities, politicians must find ways to prevent the dispersion and damages from these events. In this article, we will also examine how policy change can be accomplished by viewing it from the issue formation and agenda-setting perspectives. We accomplish this by analyzing case studies on the dispersion and outbreak of new influenza and superbacteria. These events are considered to be new disaster events.
