COVID-19. Pandemic and global crisis

The crisis originated by Covid-19 has triggered a major disruption in the realm of international relations and globalization networks. The crisis has challenged major international organizations and represents the most important global financial turbulence in many years, perhaps since Second World War. Furthermore, it has deeply altered perceptions on political practice, or the legitimacy of representation. It has generated without any doubt the most volatile scenario of distrust and social anxiety since the September 11 terrorist attacks. Moreover, it has had an important impact in the field of media, the management of public freedoms or the uncertainties that this context opens for the future of the global agenda.

In its mission to address the most relevant matters related to the field of International Relations, Comillas Journal of International Relations aims to open a space for reflection on all these matters, and it invites scholars and specialists to participate in a monographic issue dedicated to this topic. The journal publishes contributions both in English and Spanish.

While this is not an exhaustive list, we invite contributions dealing with the following matters:

  • Health governance.
  • Economic impact of the crisis. Future perspectives.
  • Theoretical framework from the perspective of international relations relative to COVID-19.
  • European Union’s response to the crisis.
  • Democracy and representation in the face of the pandemic.
  • ¿A change in global order? USA, China, Rusia and Europe. Different responses to the same challenge. Future scenarios.
  • Ideology and mindsets in the wake of the crisis. The new emergence of populism.
  • The COVID-19 crisis in historical perspective.
