Chaos threatens side by side with unprecedented interdependence.” If we look back into history and consider the global flu epidemic of 1918, we might have felt even more desperate and pessimistic in that situation than we do now. As Kissinger argued in his 2014 book World Order, “our age is insistently, at times almost desperately, in pursuit of a concept of world order. However, in my view, the coronavirus pandemic is not the end of globalism on the contrary, it offers a timely reminder of humanity’s interdependence in this changing world.

2 Governments and people in many countries are shifting from globalism to isolationism, from multilateralism to unilateralism, from multiculturalism to racism. We may be witnessing “the end of globalism as we know it”. It has also created many new problems affecting life, society and the world.ģ. However, the coronavirus pandemic has undoubtedly exacerbated these issues. Even before the pandemic, the world was changing drastically – it was replete with unilateralism, populism and inequality, which are arguably attributable to economic globalisation, neoliberalism and even the refugee crisis. 1 Yet our world is changing with or without the pandemic. According to Henry Kissinger, the global pandemic will “forever alter the world order”. The lifestyle with which we were familiar with may become only a memory, as life is changing because of the coronavirus pandemic, but whether it will be changed forever depends on our coping strategy.Ģ.
