Post Pandemic World Order

This book explores the intricacies of the post-pandemic world, delving into diverse themes such as international politics, diplomacy, democracy, migration, climate justice, mental well-being, education, human rights and the marginalised. It exposes the major fragilities in current systems and policies and provides suitable recommendations to reform them. The chapters study how the legitimacy of the world order and governance was tested by the COVID-19 pandemic: on the domestic front it stretched and put to the test policies, politics, governance, relations between state and citizens.They also question the ability of the existing ‘superpowers’ to respond to a global crisis, as well as ponder on the role of new emerging and rising powers like India and China. A timely resource for scholars, policy practitioners, and students alike, this volume fosters a deeper understanding of the interdependencies of global systems and the urgent need for inclusive, rights-based, and future-ready responses in a post-COVID world. The volume will be of interest to scholars and researchers of international and national politics, public policy, sociology, psychology and migration.
