In this article published in The Conversation, the authors detail the corona pandemic’s impact on the world economy via three components of globalization: economic, social and political.
Sylvanus Kwaku Afesorgbor, Binyam Demena and Peter van Bergeijk consider these three components of globalization in turn and ask how these have been impacted by the corona pandemic.
They argue that despite recent growing criticism, there is reason to be optimistic about the future of globalization. The corona pandemic illuminated the underlying inequalities of globalization and made clear that fighting this and future crises requires international cooperation and a global effort to ensure that no country is left behind.
