Like the fall of the Berlin Wall or the collapse of Lehman Brothers, a coronavirus pandemic is a world-shattering event whose far-ranging consequences we can only begin to imagine today. This much is certain: Just as this disease has shattered lives, disrupted markets and exposed the competence (or lack thereof) of governments, it will lead to permanent shifts in political and economic power in ways that will become apparent only later, writes Foreign Policy. The magazine asked 12 leading thinkers from around the world to weigh in with their predictions for the global order after the pandemic.
The new changes that the world will observe according to experts are as following:
- A World Less Open, Prosperous, and Free
- The End of Globalization as We Know It
- A More China-centric Globalization
- Democracies Will Come out of Their Shell
- Lower Profits, but More Stability
- This Pandemic Can Serve a Useful Purpose
- American Power Will Need a New Strategy
- The History of COVID-19 Will Be Written by the Victors
- A Dramatic New Stage in Global Capitalism
- More Failed States
- The United States Has Failed the Leadership Test
- In Every Country, We See the Power of the Human Spirit
