COVID-19 and the International Order: a European and German View

Lecture Programme of the German Federal Government

Which actors, alliances and organisations will emerge strengthened from this crisis and which diminished? Will the social and political divisions between countries widen or be bridged? Where will the global wave of protests that marked the end of 2019 lead? Will the fight against COVID-19 unite or further divide the international community?

The event will also launch the 30th edition of the Barcelona Centre for International Affairs (CIDOB) International Yearbook which reviews the shifts in international relations over the past three decades and features Germany as its country profile. But it also analyses COVID-19’s impact on the future of democracy, the economy, power balances and the rivalry between international powers.
