The current Covid19 pandemic seems to be favoring a strong emphasis on national decision-making (manifested, inter alia by border closings), mounting rivalry between major nations, including the use of vaccines to strengthen alliances and a weakening of multilateralism. As could be expected, the impact of the pandemic is worst on under-privileged segments of the world’s population and on emerging economies. Two reports authored by Dan Steinbock, Founder of The Difference Group, for the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies, explore the globally missed opportunities.
In a conversation with Dan Steinbock, we will explore how the reports were received in China and overseas, what insights could be useful for Europe as it struggles to move through a second wave and what lessons – if any – can be drawn for multilateral cooperation.
