This policy outlook explores the main dynamics of world politics by looking at the behaviour of states during the Covid-19 pandemic and aims at outlining how states behave during a global crisis.

This policy outlook explores the main dynamics of world politics by looking at the behaviour of states during the Covid-19 pandemic and aims at outlining how states behave during a global crisis. Regarding the post-Covid-19 world, it appears that the world will face an intensification of problems that were already in motion. As such, the post-Covid-19 world might be marked by an increased role for the state, more nationalism and protectionism, less globalisation and multilateralism and intensifying great power competition.
