anticipating trends in global governance for the coming decade and beyond, in three fields (Public Health, Economy, Global Governance/Geopolitics)
The essay consists in an attempt at anticipating trends in global governance for the coming decade and beyond, in three fields (Public Health, Economy, Global Governance/Geopolitics). You should consider each of the fields and see whether they are likely to be affected by the pandemic and, if so, what would be the resulting changes/transformations (you could also anticipate that one or another of the items in each field may not be affected). You should explain why/how you reach such conclusion.
Within each field, you may want to address the following items (and/or add other items that you believe are relevant):
- Public Health
– Standards and Policies
– Research/science (vaccines)
– Infrastructure
- Economy
– Development aid
– Finance for recovery
– Production chains and investment flows
– GDP ranking
- Geopolitics / Global governance institutions
– International security
– Multilateralism/intergovernmental cooperation
– Democratization
– Civil society
Please bear in mind that we are addressing only processes with a global dimension (these may include processes affecting regional groupings, but no national developments).
