Pandemic Politics: International Perspectives
Sun, October 3, 12:00 to 1:30pm PDT (12:00 to 1:30pm PDT), TBASession Submission Type: Virtual Created Panel
Session Description
The Covid-19 pandemic has shattered our normality. It has altered the international system. The response of the United States seems to confirm the diminution of its global hegemony, yet the shape of the new global order is as yet inchoate. It poses major challenges to political systems of all varieties, and the outcomes we see today in coping with the pandemic will undoubtedly shape the ways in which nations organize state authority in the future. It also challenges our assumptions about the relationship between the environment and human civilization, and science and politics. To address these challenges, Perspectives on Politics, issued a call for papers on “Pandemic Politics” for a special issue. This panel features five papers which discuss these pressing issues from the perspectives of comparative politics and international relations.
