| Summary: | As of June 2021, the pandemic has killed over four million people and
continues to impact healthcare systems, the economy and governance. Though
the pandemic has affected all world regions, it has significantly impacted the most
impoverished and vulnerable.
The COVID-19 outbreak forced peace and security actors to quickly adapt to a ‘new
normal’ and reorganize their work to continue operating in this new context. Some of
the sudden adopted changes initially meant to be temporary seem to be destined to
remain in place and have the potential to reshape the sector in the medium to long
term. The COVID-19 health crisis has a direct impact on many aspects of the civil
dimension of security especially on human security, health security, food security and
economic security. The economic and political implications of the pandemic will ripple
through the world for years. The pandemic is raising geopolitical tensions, and great
powers are jockeying for advantage and influence. States are struggling to cooperate
and in some cases are undermining cooperation to respond to the pandemic and its
economic fallout.
The post-coronavirus world could be a world of intensified nationalist rivalries on the
economic revival and political influence. However, strengthening cooperation among
nations at different levels will lead to the growth of health, economy, and security.
While much remains uncertain, it is clear COVID-19 is both a multidimensional crisis
and an opportunity for change. |
